The Ohio Montessori Alliance (OhMA) is a young non-profit which has been exploring how Dr. Montessori’s insights about optimal development of children might inform the collective development of its statewide community.
Montessori principles place primacy on holism -- the individual is thought of as a whole. Montessorians create the space where children can develop themselves to their fullest potential as an integrated personality, recognizing that optimal development depends on how the parts work together.
Therefore, the Ohio Montessori Alliance is using a holistic view of our statewide community's development. We seek to support the development of the various parts of our community (supporting the administrators, teachers, families, students, alumni, and community members of Montessori schools and teacher preparation programs,) as well as nurture connections between them.
The Ohio Montessori Alliance invites you to explore how together we might connect our community from the top-down, bottom-up, center-out, fringe-in, thereby co-creating ourselves into a holistic organism capable of transforming the world for children.
