Why Choose Montessori?
Montessori education, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, is based on the belief that children are innate learners. When provided with the right resources and environment, children not only learn independently but also develop a love for learning.
We’ve found that the Montessori approach fosters a lifelong passion for learning, encourages independent thought, and helps cultivate responsible and empathetic members of the community.
Key principles of authentic Montessori education include:
Respect for the Individual Child: Recognizing every child is a unique individual with distinct needs, interests, and learning styles. Teachers provide tailored support while respecting each child’s learning pace.
Mixed-Age Classrooms: Encourages mentoring relationships and mutual inspiration between different age groups by placing children of varied ages in one learning environment.
Hands-On Learning: Prioritizes experiential learning. Children learn through exploration and sensory interaction with self-correcting materials.
Individualized Learning: Children are empowered to select their activities and set their learning pace, fostering interest-based learning and autonomy.
Collaboration and Community: Advocates teamwork and a sense of belonging among students. Children are motivated to share resources, work together, and support each other’s learning journey.
