Our Core Values
At Windsor Street Montessori, our work is guided by three essential values that shape everything we do:
We embrace challenges with optimism and resourcefulness, modeling for our children how to approach life's difficulties with a positive mindset and problem-solving attitude.
Resilience
We create space for authentic self-expression and growth, rejecting the notion that productivity determines worth. We celebrate the whole person and encourage wholehearted engagement in life and learning.
Worthiness
We prioritize meaningful relationships between children, staff, families, and our environment. Through food, shared experiences, and thoughtful interaction, we build a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued.
Connection
Your partnership with Windsor Street Montessori strengthens these values and extends their impact beyond our school walls.
