Learning In The Prepared Environment Is Unique
Teachers set up your child’s learning environment to encourage maximum independent thinking, problem-solving, and self-led exploration. Their classroom offers lessons, activities, and tools that match their developmental needs and interests.
Mixed-Age Classrooms Spur Growth And Empathy
It has been proven that age does not indicate the social or academic developmental level and that it’s beneficial for your child to be exposed to mixed age groups as they grow. For this reason, they learn alongside older and younger children with various skill levels.
Classrooms Are Intentionally Designed
Montessori classrooms are designed with natural elements such as wood, not synthetic ones made of plastic. Expect lots of sunlight, soft colors, and uncluttered spaces, alongside accessible learning materials based on your child’s age, skill level, and size.
Practical Life Skills Build Independence
The most ordinary tasks that adults take for granted are the ones that ignite a sense of exploration and wonder in children. Your child learns how to prepare food, wash their hands, tidy up their play areas, and pick an outfit for the day.
Montessori Materials Ignite The Senses
The sensory materials your child learns with are designed to provide them with opportunities to identify new abilities through discovery, repetition, and practice. They start by isolating one specific skill, then progress in complexity as your child ages.
A Philosophy That Embraces Education
The Montessori Method fosters self-motivated growth for children based on their interests and progressive needs. Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy, the curriculum’s goal is to nurture your child’s natural desire for knowledge and understanding.
Exploring The Wonders Of The World
A Montessori curriculum provides your child with the opportunity to discover the world around them. They learn about different cultures, countries, geography, animals, and plants that they wouldn’t typically encounter on a typical day, with the ultimate goal of expanding their thinking.
