The Montessori classroom is a prepared environment in which children’s inherent love of learning is encouraged by engaging them in purposeful and meaningful activities. Through their work, children develop concentration and self discipline. Within this structured and orderly environment, children progress at their own pace, facilitated by a trained teacher.
Dr. Montessori's observations children led her to design multi-sensory, sequential and self-correcting materials. Learning through concrete, hands-on materials provides a firm foundation for later abstract thinking. Multi-age groupings are also a part of the prepared environment. A three-year-age span in each class allows for learning to take place naturally. More experienced children share what they have learned while reinforcing their own learning.
The Montessori Method is based on a deep respect for children and a thorough understanding of child development. The primary goal of a Montessori education is to help each child reach their full potential in all areas of life.
