New! For the 2023-2024 School Year
We are excited to announce that The Lilliputian Montessori School has merged with The Children’s Path, LLC (a licensed TimberNook provider) to become one organization entitled “The Lilliputian School,” effective August 1, 2023.
Philosophy and Pedagogy
Our merger is exciting because it brings together the TimberNook experience with the Montessori method, while being rooted in our place - the Mount Washington Valley. Among early childhood centers in our region, we are proud to be the leading center for child-led outdoor learning experiences that embrace the foundational principles of Montessori.
For the new school year there will be significant continuity of philosophy, approach, and curriculum for our families, with a few notable changes. First of all, we will become a TimberNook certified school for preschool classes and offer an Outdoor Play-Based learning environment for our Toddler and Young Toddler classes that will prepare them for the TimberNook experience. Second, we will become “Montessori-inspired” instead of “Montessori” to reflect the integration of TimberNook into the school. We strive to offer the best of both approaches, from young toddler through preschool.
TimberNook programs are authentic and research-backed outdoor play experiences designed to inspire child-directed learning. What does this mean? In a nutshell, your child will be able to experience all types of weather while being encouraged to think and play in new and creative ways.
Meanwhile, the Montessori method, materials, and aesthetic will weave through the entire Lilliputian School. This means that your child will continue to experience the child-led work of the classroom in the areas of practical life, sensorial, math, language and cultural life.
