Sunny Hollow is a wonderful school that adheres to the ideals and objectives originally developed by Maria Montessori and carried on through AMI. Children at Sunny Hollow are not taught so much as given the opportunity to learn. Sunny Hollow has environments for children from age 33 months through 12 years old. Both my children have attended Sunny Hollow and they have learned to function on their own and have learned how to help other children achieve their goals at the same time. The Montessori experience helps children understand the big picture of what they are doing. As a result I had to change how I talk to my children, I no longer need to slowly give them one step or one piece of the picture at a time. I can speak them as if they are older than they really are, tell them what our objectives are, and give them multi-step instructions to get there without overwhelming them.
