The Happy Children's Montessori School

Happy Children's Montessori School is a Christian Montessori school for children ages 3 to 6 years in the Hillsboro, Beaverton and Portland areas.

The Happy Children's Montessori is a unique Christian Montessori preschool and Kindergarten where children learn in a calm and loving environment. The teacher, Heather Keizur, and her assistant are experienced and caring. Our goal is to provide a program which helps each child to grow academically, socially and spiritually. The Montessori program is a hands-on, individualized program in which children are encouraged to learn at their own pace in the areas which interest them most. The areas of the classroom include art expression, practical life (i.e., handwashing, pouring, polishing, sewing, dressing frames, hammering and more), sensorial (in this area the children use materials that help them to differentiate between different dimensions, colors, sounds, smells and touch), math, language, science, geography, botany, zoology, history, French and music. Our program encourages children to use respectful conflict resolution skills with one another. We use grace and courtesy lessons to teach manners, proper handling of materials, respect of one's classmate's work and work space and respect of the environment. We always stress the importance of treating each other and the materials in the classroom with respect and kindness.
