About Montessori School
of Tupelo
Montessori School of Tupelo encourages the development of the whole child's personally and academic growth by fostering independence, confidence, responsibility and joyful life long learning.
Since 2002, Montessori School of Tupelo has sought out to guide future leaders, nurturers, and motivators. The dandelion flower is a symbol of growth, hope, and development. Starting out as a yellow bud, this flower transforms into a head of seeds that spreads across the land to take root and produce future growth. Whether you are a teacher, parent, friend or family member of the children of Montessori School of Tupelo, you are a part of this growth. Just like the dandelion, you are spreading the learning experience through the example you lead and motivating the next generation ahead.

"(The child) is a traveler through life... We are the guides of these travelers just entering the great world of human thought. We should see to it that we are intelligent and cultured guides, not losing ourselves in vain discourse, but illustrating briefly and concisely the work of art in which the traveler shows himself interested, and we should then respectfully allow him to observe it as long as he wishes to."
- Dr. Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method, p. 237
