Developing Confident, Competent
and Self-Disciplined Children
OUR MISSION
To develop children who are confident, competent,
self-disciplined and able to work cooperatively for the
benefit of society by using the teaching practices
as set forth in the Association of Montessori
International guidelines.
WHY MIXED AGE GROUPS?
Our classrooms offer children the opportunity to choose from a wide variety of progressively more complex materials. The child can grow individually as his / her interest leads from one level of difficulty to the next. Having children ages three to six working together permits the younger child to observe a range of older children as role models, while allowing the older ones an opportunity to reinforce what they have learned.
HOW THE CHILD LEARNS
The use of the Montessori materials is based on the young child's unique aptitude for learning, which Dr. Montessori identified as the "absorbent mind." In her books she frequently compared the young mind to a sponge. The process is particularly evident in the way a two-year-old learns his / her natural language without any conscious thought or formal instruction. Acquiring information in this way is a natural and delightful activity for a young child and one that invites the child to use all of his / her senses to investigate his / her innate interest in the world. Children retain this ability to learn by absorbing until they are almost seven years old. A young child can learn to read, write and calculate in the same natural way that he/she learns to walk and talk. In a Montessori classroom the teaching tools invite the child to do this at his / her own pace. This is a hands-on approach that helps the child concentrate and focus on the task while allowing him / her to enjoy the process of learning.
