7 Continents Montessori

7 Continents Montessori is a Wakefield school offering a bilingual Montessori program for children ages 2 to 5 at enrollment. Classrooms are designed for independent learning and exploration, with hands-on learning that builds cognitive, social and emotional skills. Teachers experienced in the Montessori method treat each child as an individual, and students practice real-life situations and everyday tasks that help them develop problem solving, communication and self-advocacy in a safe, nurturing setting.

The school’s approach rests on five Montessori principles, including respect for each child’s unique potential, sensitive periods when children are especially ready to learn certain skills, and the absorbent mind that takes in the surrounding environment. Extended care after regular school hours supports working families with activities focused on independence, creativity and social development, and a Montessori-inspired summer camp aims to foster curiosity, independence and joy.
