Description
Marcia Weinacker founded Weinacker’s Montessori School in 1969. Having been introduced to Maria Montessori’s works during her graduate research, Mrs. Weinacker began the school after she completed her Master’s Degree in Education. Her first students included the two youngest of her nine children who were then three and five years old. Her son, one of those original students, is continuing the family tradition. Mr. Weinacker’s three children have attended the school as well as several nieces and nephews.
Today, there are three schools, at locations in both Mobile and Baldwin counties. Weinacker’s trained and Montessori certified teaching staff have four main areas of concentration including sensorial, practical life, reading, and math. In the classrooms, our teachers teach children to learn for themselves; stressing that work is the basis of all accomplishments, development of coordination, and “ego stretching experiences”, all primary goals of our schools. Freedom in an environment controlled by the students themselves has been in the formula for Montessorian success.
