They learn to focus their attention on an interest and, in doing so, make a commitment to learning about something. Through this active engagement, they discover the joy in learning. We recognize the importance of each child\u2019s early experiences in the formation of an emotionally healthy, responsible adult. We see our role as nurturing the immense potential within each child, and supporting each child in the task of inner development. We believe that children\u2019s intellectual growth is intertwined with their social and emotional development. Intellectual growth flourishes in a non-judgmental community where freedom for the individual is balanced with the needs of the group. In our classrooms, children can choose to work independently or with classmates. As they develop more and more competencies, they quite naturally take on increased responsibility in the activities of the classroom.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='avia-button-wrap av-k58cp5j5-939ca79cdc722f60ddedeefd4e755888-wrap avia-button-right  avia-builder-el-23  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><a href='https:\/\/wsmsnyc.org\/home\/goals-for-children\/'  class='avia-button av-k58cp5j5-939ca79cdc722f60ddedeefd4e755888 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-yes-right-icon avia-size-small avia-position-right avia-color-theme-color'  ><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >Goals for Children<\/span><span class='avia_button_icon avia_button_icon_right' aria-hidden='true' data-av_icon='\ue88d' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello'><\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k58cge3b-9a8d9db46dd5fad4945f6d20469a6383\">\n.avia-section.av-k58cge3b-9a8d9db46dd5fad4945f6d20469a6383{\nbackground-color:#f2f2f2;\nbackground-image:unset;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-k58cge3b-9a8d9db46dd5fad4945f6d20469a6383 main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-24  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-11216'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k58ccbab-d582ba55105967972811c417588c5c28 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2><span style=\"color: #333399;\">WSMS At A GLANCE<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-kgck62qb-6e69dddc7da7e840ea6170a07bd54a9b\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-kgck62qb-6e69dddc7da7e840ea6170a07bd54a9b{\nmargin-top:0px;\nheight:1px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-kgck62qb-6e69dddc7da7e840ea6170a07bd54a9b hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-26  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_one_half '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hu1zq-0387aa392261e7ebd628263b8d9d44b6\">\n.flex_column.av-hu1zq-0387aa392261e7ebd628263b8d9d44b6{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-hu1zq-0387aa392261e7ebd628263b8d9d44b6 av_one_half  avia-builder-el-27  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_one_half  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-k58ccl6w-4831e564e4c534c737995a147fc8a479 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><ul>\n<li><strong>Montessori early childhood program<\/strong> for children ages 2 through 6 years old<\/li>\n<li><strong>Programs:<\/strong> AM (8:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.), 9-3 (9 a.m.-3 p.m. M-Th, 9 a.m.-12:30 p.m. F), and LAP (8:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m.).
