OUR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS

The Montessori method of teaching aims to develop a child to their fullest possible potential by focusing  them to work at her or his own optimum level.  The philosophy believes that children learn best in a social environment that encourages individual growth. Classes operate on a “freedom within limits” principle. By encouraging creativity and curiosity , the child is encouraged to ask questions, explore and investigate ideas which leads to independent thinking and the development of skills.

Everything in a Montessori classroom has a specific use or purpose. There is nothing in the prepared environment that the child cannot see or touch. All of the furniture and equipment is scaled down to the child's size and is within easy reach. There are special Montessori materials called manipulatives that are self-correcting. For example, a child knows they assembled a puzzle correctly, based on the puzzle fitting together, not because someone showed the child how to do it. Each child works through his individual cycle of activities, and learns to truly understand according to his own unique needs and capabilities.
