Friends of Lily Field Christian Community

The Friends of Lily Field Christian Montessori Community is a site designed to support the mission of the Lily Field Christian Montessori Community in Portland, Oregon. Its objective to provide a very special place for children. Because of the violent, fast paced, sensationalist society that children face today. We believe children need a haven to grow in peace. Lily Field is a community founded by Christians to promote this peaceful environment.
Preschool aged children do not need direct teaching in order to learn, they absorb knowledge from their surroundings just by living. The classroom allows children to move, touch, manipulate and explore. Lily Field uses this knowledge as a basis to teach reading, mathematics and the natural sciences as well as life skills, all in the foundation of God's love.

Stories at Lily Field Christian Montessori Community
The Bible in Action
The Prince of Egypt
My family did not own this movie until it was shown in school. My daughter came home and couldn't stop talking about it. While historically loose, if a story can be judged by the lessons it teaches, and the points made, than this movie should be considered.
Amazon Price: $8.99 (as of 12/02/2008) 
Joseph - King of Dreams
This story was much more faithful to the biblical story of Joseph than the king of Egypt was to the story of Moses. It is an excellent story that we absolutely had to have after watching the Prince of Egypt.
Amazon Price: $10.99 (as of 12/02/2008)
The Nativity Story
This movie was recommended by our Montessori Guide, it is a faithful retelling of the nativity story.
Amazon Price: $7.99 (as of 12/02/2008)
One Night With the King
This movie was not what I expected. Safe for the whole family, it dramatizes the story of a young girl who at great personal risk remains true to her heritage, and to her God, in a world that wants to crush both.
