International Women's Day: Celebrating Dr. Maria Montessori

Today is International Women’s Day. Who better to shine a spotlight on than Dr. Maria Montessori?

Dr. Montessori paved the way for children’s learning at WMS and Montessori schools throughout the world. By observing children as they interacted with hands-on materials designed to teach a variety of concepts, she refined what is now known as the Montessori Method of education. Her knowledge of child development and how humans learn allowed her to apply the scientific method to the field of education, and we are better for it.

At WMS, we remain dedicated to Montessori principles including hands-on learning, facilitating long-term memory through sensory experiences, prioritizing children’s social-emotional development and using education as a pathway to peace in our world. Thank you Dr. Montessori, a true pioneer, for creating a path of lifelong learning.

Security Reminder: Please Use the Front Doors to Enter the Building

In order to keep WMS secure, please enter and exit through the front doors of the school. This allows us to monitor who has entered and exited the school.

In addition, we ask that you remember to bring your keycards with you each day. If you have misplaced your keycard, please notify Markia Inge to order a replacement and have your lost card deactivated.

Keycards work from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on weekdays. If you need to enter the building outside of these times and no one is at the desk to assist you, please call 302-475-0555 for assistance.

Thank you for helping us keep our building secure!
