Picture
Tomorrow's Promise Montessori School is a nonprofit education organization providing programs for children ages 6 weeks to 12 years old.  We serve Huntsville, TX and surrounding townships.  Our teachers receive training from the world-renowned Houston Montessori Center (HMC).  We believe in creating a place where  each child is respected and nurtured in the highest quality environment  with the most developmentally appropriate practices. Parents are  partners enhancing all aspects of the program. We use a variety of  teaching methods until each child has experienced success within our well rounded curriculum.

Importance of Early Learning

Research has shown that 50% of everything an adult knows was learned by age 4, and 80% was learned by age 8 when the brain begins to cement itself.  Hence, it is easier for a child to learn a second language than an adult.  The world renowned Montessori Education system was developed over a century ago to leverage a child's immense extraordinary learning abilities in the early years of life.

Traditional Learning

  • Rote knowledge and social development.            
  • Teacher's role is dominant, active: child is a passive participant.
  • Teacher is primary enforcer of external discipline.
  • Individual and group instruction conform's to adult's teaching style.
  • Same-age grouping.
  • Most teaching done by teacher and collaboration is discouraged.
  • Curriculum structured with little regard for child's interests. 
  • Few materials for sensory, concrete manipulation.
