Why Choose Montessori
The Montessori philosophy is centered
around the simple, basic truth that children teach
themselves. This unique and progressive approach to early
childhood education is based on the encouragement of the
individual child to set his own pace and discover learning
by way of his natural interest in exploring the world. The
program makes the most of these sensitive early age
periods of intellectual growth and allows a child to develop
her potential and unique abilities to their fullest.
In a Montessori school, the specially certified teacher is
not the repository of knowledge but merely a guide. Each
according to his unique gifts, the Montessori teacher
encourages the child to discover reading, math, art, music
and science, individually, as a group, and at their own
pace. As a result of this approach, a child is started on a
process of joyful learning - a process that lasts a
lifetime.
Through the course of a child's participation in the
program, skills in muscular coordination, concentration,
independence and discovery increase. The child is encouraged
to be an independent, socially warm person with a positive
self-concept, not afraid to make mistakes and learn from
them.
The child is given the opportunity to be a leader or a
follower, depending on the situation and can approach any
task, organize materials and self and arrive at a desirable
result.
