    AT GREENE TOWNE SCHOOL, YOUR CHILD BUILDS THE SKILLS AND SELF-ASSURANCE THAT LEAD TO A LIFETIME OF LEARNING. IN A MULTI-AGE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT THAT NURTURES THE UNIQUE PERSONALITY AND INDIVIDUAL ABILITIES OF EACH CHILD, GREENE TOWNE'S TRAINED MONTESSORI TEACHERS INVITE CHILDREN TO EXPLORE THEIR OWN TALENTS AND TO FEEL A REAL SENSE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT WITH EACH NEW SKILL LEARNED. OUR TEACHERS CARE FOR AND NURTURE EVERY GIRL AND BOY, YET RESPECT EACH CHILD'S NEED FOR INDEPENDENCE. CHILDREN BECOME SELF-CONFIDENT - INSPIRED TO LEARN NEW SKILLS AND IMPROVE ON PAST ACHIEVEMENTS - PREPARING THEMSELVES FOR TOMORROW.EVERY ASPECT OF GREENE TOWNE STIMULATES CREATIVITY AND LEARNING. EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS ARE DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR A YOUNG CHILD'S MIND AND BODY, AND THE FACILITY IS COLORFUL, BRIGHT AND INVITING. BOYS AND GIRLS FEEL INSPIRED, WHETHER THEY ARE WRITING A SHORT STORY WITH THE MOVEABLE ALPHABET, TAKING PICTURES OF THEIR SCHOOL FOR A PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBIT, OR WATERING SEEDLINGS IN OUR CONTAINER GARDEN ON THE ROOF DECK.SINCE 1966, GREENE TOWNE SCHOOL HAS PROVIDED A QUALITY MONTESSORI EDUCATION TO PHILADELPHIA CHILDREN AND FAMILIES.
