Montessori philosophy views education as an aid and a preparation for life. We believe that every child is capable of achieving his/her full potential, when provided with the right environment, material and guidance.
Montessori offers a unique approach to education where emphasis is placed on learning through all five senses and not just by listening, watching or reading. It is implemented using specially designed and constructed hands-on material in a carefully prepared environment in which children are guided through a choice of activities from numerous possibilities.
Montessori education recognizes that children learn in different ways, and accommodates all learning styles. Students are free to learn at their own pace, each advancing through the curriculum as he or she is ready, guided by the teacher and an individualized learning plan.
Classroom design, materials, daily routines, teachers and every other aspect of the environment supports the individual’s emerging personality.
Montessori classrooms are beautifully crafted environments that are designed to meet the needs of children in a specific age group In the Montessori classroom, children make independent choices, enjoy freedom of movement, and are guided towards a love of learning. Children work individually, or in small groups, using self-correcting educational material.
The Montessori materials match children’s interests with the five Montessori curriculum areas.
The Montessori materials have been specifically designed to isolate one quality or concept. In effect, this self-correcting quality allows children to discover the outcome of the materials independently, and at their own pace.
