At Glenbrook, we nurture our children in the
16 Washington FAMILY SEPTEMBER 2022
early, formative years so they can define
themselves as individuals. We strive for this
through spontaneous play in a controlled
and time structured environment. We believe
that children can feel secure only when they
understand and trust a set of limits. Their
imagination, curiosity and interests need
time to wander, expand and develop within
these limits. Cooperative nursery schools are
administered and maintained by the parents,
allowing everyone to grow and learn together.
The special nature of Glenbrook is the close
working relationship between parents and
teachers. Our approach builds a sense of
community and togetherness for parents and
children. GUIDEPOST MONTESSORI
