Ridgefield Montessori School

The Ridgefield Montessori School was established in 1999 with one classroom of 12 students in a primary classroom. We have since grown to include 4 classrooms of 75 students.

Under the administration of director and owner Catherine Tango, the Ridgefield Montessori School offers an infant program, a toddler program, and early education program for children ages 2 to 6 year and Kindergarten. Extended day and After-Care programs are available.

RMS bases its educational philosophy on the teachings of educator Dr. Maria Montessori, who believed in integrating a child’s personality and individual thought processes into that child’s curriculum. Montessori believed that educators should “develop interest rather than give facts”, instilling in a child the curiosity necessary to pursue an individualized education.

Because the Montessori method depends largely on a child’s interaction with his or her surroundings, the Ridgefield Montessori School offers plenty of opportunities for its students to explore the world outside of school.
