Since its founding in 2001, Magic Lantern Montessori Preschool offers a rich, diverse curriculum that touches on many different aspects of life. Our dedicated teachers and staff foster a strong sense of community; empower children to develop respect for self, others and the environment; and build a strong academic foundation for a lifetime of learning. Located in the diverse and dynamic Rainier Valley, Magic Lantern Montessori provides an intimate environment that nurtures children, parents, staff and our community.
In the past year, our students have:
- Experienced great artists like Georgia O’Keefe, Pablo Picasso, Alexander Calder and Jacob Lawrence. Children actively engage in lessons artists and their art because they are fully are integrated into daily curricula, art projects and even meals.
- Cooked wholesome, vegetarian, often local and organic meals as part of the cooking program which is a vital aspect of the school day.
- Explored the world around them through science, learning about sea creatures and oceans that are their home, watching chrysalis transform into butterflies right in the classroom and exploring the science of food, as well as their ABCs and numbers.
- Developed an understanding of peace and our role as stewards of our community, while learning about the Civil Rights Movement and leaders like Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Dalai Lama.
- Learned to love and nurture each other through words of kindness and a commitment by the school to create an environment that supports and embraces everyone.
- Sang songs, danced, played games and played outside almost every day, rain or shine, in the covered play area.
