Our Values

In order to create an environment at Sunny Hollow Montessori in which each child can be nurtured and educated to that child’s fullest potential, all members of the community must have a shared understanding of the values influencing and guiding our actions.

To that end, Sunny Hollow embraces the following values:

Kindness

An environment of kindness and warmth aids in creating peace and harmony, essential to the growth of children, and contributing to the greater harmony on Earth.

Respect

Treating ourselves, others, and the environment with respect recognizes that we are part of a greater world and our success does not happen independently. We value the contributions of others both now and in the past, shaping our world and our experience. We recognize the impact our actions have on those around us, both now and in the future.

Diligence and Craftsmanship

We achieve excellence in our work by employing diligence and craftsmanship, working within our limits while seeking to grow beyond them.

Appreciation of Diversity

Bringing together people of different cultures, perspectives and experiences enhances the overall experience of our community and the education children receive.
