Discovery Learning
At Firefly Academy we believe that children gather and retain information best through the process of discovery, directed by internal motivation. Through play, developmentally appropriate and intellectually stimulating activities, children are better prepared for lifelong learning.
Montessori-Inspired
Our program includes a differentiated classroom setting, self-directed learning and independent choices all within an active learning community. Montessori materials and activities allow each child to be his/her own teacher.
Multiage Environment
Children move through stages in a set order, but not necessarily at a set pace; for this reason we believe in the richness of a multiage program. The positive interaction among mixed ages provides a framework to develop empathy, compassion, leadership, responsibility, and accountability.
