| An AMI Montessori education assists children to develop to their full human potential by helping them “learn how to think.”
What do thinking children do when they grow up? They become successful, accomplished adults contributing to a better world.

“It wasn’t until later as I started making games and toys that I got very interested in Maria Montessori and her methods… She thought it very valuable for children to discover things on their own rather than being taught overtly. She would design toys to bring children to a deeper understanding of the principles of life and nature- through play! I really think of the games that I create as modern Montessori toys. I want them to be presented in a way where kids can explore and discover on their own.”
- Will Wright, designer of The Sims video games and former Montessori student
