A Little About Aspen Park iMontessori

Aspen Park iMontessori opened its doors 15 months before COVID hit. What a time to open a school, right? Since that very first day, APM has been continuously redefining and developing its programs to fit its mission of personalized learning for each student.  This school has  been a labor of love given the time we opened and the obstacles we had to overcome in the years to follow.   But here we are, resilient, motivated and determined to provide a quality education.  Our foundations of rigor, discipline, responsibility  and respect guide us as we continuously improve and modify our program to fit the needs of ALL our children.  We are so proud of  the community we have built.  We have big dreams, big plans and look forward to making big impacts within the community now and in the future.  Our children are our future.  Let's prepare them accordingly.

Throughout the years, we have been able to develop and put into action improved practices that focus on the individual child.   This begins with our smaller teacher to child ratios, allowing us a more personable experience with each child.  Early childhood infant ratios are 1:5, toddler ratios are 1:7, 3-5 year old ratios are 1:10.  APM believes in keeping ratios under these standards and is committed to doing so regardless of growth and cost.   

Here at APM, we teach based on the child’s needs. As children learn through play, we provide the tools, toys, environment, and learning centers necessary to encourage growth and development.  While in group play, children are guided and coached in social skills, emotional literacy, friendship skills, and self-regulation.  Although math, literacy, science, and technology are reinforced throughout the day, we start working with our kids individually in these areas when ready.  The one-on-one time they receive is invaluable.  We work in accordance with their needs and understanding.  Every child is different so our teaching strategies may differ from child to child.   Pacing guides are used in many schools as children get older but here at APM, they are never used.

Want to know the best part about APM? Our kids are learning while having a blast!  They are learning concepts and fundamentals at a rapid pace because they are capable.  They just need to be engaged and challenged.  And we are very good at that.   We have exceeded our expectations and are thrilled at the amazing results we are seeing.  Children are very intelligent and they are capable of learning so much more than we give them credit for.   The icing on the cake is that they love it!  They want to learn and when put in an environment that supports their growth, they excel.  We take advantage of this by challenging them, laying the foundation, supporting that foundation and building on that foundation piece by piece so that they evolve into better versions of themselves.
