Nov 28 SD Gives!

Picture
On Nov. 28th, Children's House Montessori is participating in SD Day of Giving, a statewide day of giving to your favorite charity or nonprofit.

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, we are proud to offer the Rapid City community a Montessori educational experience. Montessori provides a hands-on, interactive and individually-geared education that provides students a strong foundation in problem solving, higher order thinking and an appreciation for the love of learning, beginning with the principle of grace and courtesy. When given tools to construct meaning to everyday tasks, children will grow to do incredible things! 

With your support through a donation, we hope to enhance our environment in order to reach our goal of becoming Montessori accredited for birth through Grade 12. In order to achieve this, we need to expand our teacher education and build on our current infrastructure. We have already grown our school 24% in the last year with anticipation of continued growth. This expected growth requires expansion of our infrastructure. 

  • Teacher Education x2 - $20,000
  • ​Scholarship Fund
  • Infrastructure (roof and siding at our elementary campus) - $50,000 ​​​
We thank you for taking the time to seriously consider donating to our amazing organization and to assist with reaching our goals. Together, let’s strengthen our beautiful community.

Primary & Kindergarten (3-6 years old)
Primary classrooms are designed especially for the 3-6 year old child and the entire environment is created to facilitate their learning process. Maria Montessori observed that children learn by doing and wrote that the "hand was the instrument of the mind".
Picture
 Lower Elementary (1st-3rd grades)
Maria Montessori summed up the 6-9 classroom thusly: "The elementary child has reached a new level of development. Before he was interested in things: working with his hands, learning their names. Now he is interested mainly in the how and why...the problem of cause and effect." It is now the job of the elementary teacher to provide the child with the materials and information to discover the interconnectedness of the universe.
Picture
Upper Elementary (4th-6th grades)
An elementary Montessori classroom is a warm community: a multi-age, stimulating environment with highly trained teachers and materials that invite exploration and research. Children learn to face challenges with confidence, and begin to find their own place in the world around them.

Why Children's House Montessori?

The Montessori Method Works
"Above all it is to be noted that the child has a passionate love for order and work, and possesses intellectual qualities superior by far to what might have been expected." - Maria Montessori
Accredited Montessori School
Children’s House Montessori is a not for profit organization and became a State accredited school in 2001 and adheres to the requirements set down by the South Dakota Department of Education while following the tenets of a Montessori curriculum using Montessori materials.

What parents are saying

"We have been a CHM family for seven years. Our children’s confidence to discover new things and independently solve problems blossomed as a CHM student. This approach provides a space for ALL students, including those who may not thrive in traditional classrooms."
-Danielle G.

“We originally planned on “only” preschool but quickly realized we loved the teachers and the Montessori method too much to leave. Years later we happily remain enrolled. Our child is thriving, and we feel such a deep sense of belonging here!”
 - Emily T.

"I got goosebumps the first time I visited, the classroom was so magical. I wanted a place where I knew my child's spirit would flourish and a place where the teachers would see her for who she is. We thought we would only stay for preschool and now now six years later, we will be starting in Upper Elementary. It's truly an extraordinary school."
- Alex K.
