We strive to serve families across the socioeconomic spectrum with a robust financial aid program and by participating in the Working Connections Childcare Program through Washington state. Little Star was founded in 1982 as a non-profit school by Rayma Hayes, a certified Montessori teacher with an amazing and joyful way of interacting with children. We?ve grown through the years in response to community need. In 2018, the community came together to fundraise for a new building on our Winthrop campus and a small satellite campus 8 miles down the road in Twisp to expand early education opportunities for infants and toddlers.Little Star?s approach to Montessori education differs from many certified Montessori schools. We?ve taken the key ideas from Maria Montessori?s work and blended them with inspiration from play-based learning, outdoor-based learning, the Positive Discipline approach, and the most up-to-date early learning research to create an innovative school curriculum and culture that meets the unique needs of our diverse rural community. While we strive for our teachers to carry a Montessori certificate, we?ve consciously chosen not to pursue Montessori certification for our school in order to best fulfill our mission and vision.
