Mardena Montessori Program $380 per month K-4th Starts September 16
The Mardena Montessori Program has been developed by Mardena Williams. The program is based on the phylosophy of Maria Montessori, a renown scientist and educator. With over 20 years of teaching in the private and public school system Mardena has created a series of hands on units that incorporate a child's curiosity and desire to learn using hands on materials and real life experiences. In 1987 Mardena lead a team of teachers that created the Anchorage School Districts Science Curriculum. Though the curriculum has adjusted throughout the years , many of the hands on and real world elements developed by this team have remained today. The same hands on approach is used to teach all subjects in The Mardena Montessori program.
