Situated off a paved country road with no sidewalks or streetlights is Myrtle Farm Montessori School, a pre-school dedicated to developing a child's full potential through the Montessori Method. It also incorporates insight from more current developmental psychologists and implements a completely interactive curriculum involving animals on the farm. With four goats, two horses, seven chickens and a garden, the children learn to care for and groom the animals as well as plant and harvest produce. The cozy playroom is an open space that is tidy and brightly lit with natural light. It is a part of the county, not the city.
