School Notes

  • Children's Hour Montessori was founded in 1972 by Susan Cedar. Susan had felt in need in modern society for stimulating, and loving environment for the children of working parents.
  • One underlying concern for Susan was the lack of solid educational emphasis in full day Care programs for young children.
  • With the vision that full day care exposure through nursery school could be a positive asset to the developing child of working parents, Children's Hour was created.
  • Children at school At Children's Hour, we feel that early childhood education should be addressed equally from several perspectives.
  • The emotional social,cognitive, and creative development of the children in our care is our primary concern.
