Montessori is an individualized approach to education with a child-centered philosophy. The Montessori approach nurtures the development of both academic and life skills for children. Students’ creativity and curiosity are encouraged through the use of Montessori’s unique learning materials and hands-on lessons as students are guided to ask questions, explore, investigate and think for themselves. Social graces, manners and interpersonal relationships are developed through both group and individual interactions.
Montessori Nurtures a Lifelong Love of Learning Through the Development of Independence, Concentration, Self-Motivation, Self-Discipline, Social Skills and Higher Level Thinking Skills.
Specially designed classrooms with “hands-on” manipulative equipment and mixed-age groupings enable the child to work in a family setting, learning responsibility and respect from one another.
Montessori teachers are trained to meet the developmental needs of each individual child; personalizing the learning experience.
Positive reinforcement, support and encouragement take precedence. Children engage in meaningful conversations with classmates and adults, while learning independence and self-direction.
A strong foundation of self-esteem is built as the child experiences the joy of learning and success through work.
A balance between freedom and responsibility encourages intrinsic motivation and an interest in learning as well as focus and concentration. Children develop essential skills for future life and success.
