Montessori Method
Our Montessori program is more than a classroom. It is a collective and expressive environment where children are respected and valued as individual human beings. Personalized attention fosters a balanced atmosphere that is cheerful, nourishing and orderly. The classroom is filled with manipulatives and hands-on activities that encourage age appropriate up-close and tactile experiences. The environment encourages the children to explore their own curiosities and challenges them to master such skills as language and math concepts. Through our carefully planned classroom, learning materials, and valued educators your child will benefit from our quality educational program.
The objectives of the program
- Autonomy;
- Refinement of the senses;
- self-discipline;
- concentration;
- the pleasure of effort; and
- self-esteem.
About our classrooms
To grasp the essence of Montessori education, just step inside a classroom. Beautiful, calm, inviting, and thoughtfully arranged, colors are muted, the atmosphere peaceful. The space is organized, clean, and uncluttered. The classroom embodies each element of Maria Montessori’s revolutionary approach.
The educator, child, and environment create a learning triangle. The classroom is prepared by the educator to encourage independence, freedom within limits, and a sense of order. The child, through individual choice, makes use of what the environment offers to develop himself, interacting with the educator when support and/or guidance is needed. Also we see the classroom as a community in which respect for the independence and character of your child is paramount. Educators are consistently calm, gentle, soft-spoken, patient, and trusting. They demonstrate respect and compassion. These materials in the classroom are designed to foster concentration, problem solving, and a sense of achievement.
