The Montessori Method

The Montessori Method of teaching fosters a natural desire for the enjoyment of learning and allows each child to follow his or her own intrinsic curiosity. This method was developed a century ago by a young Italian physician named Maria Montessori. Her notion that children learn through hands on activity that the preschool years are a time of critical brain development and that parents should be partners in their children's education, are now widely accepted.

The Montessori Method enhances social skills. The children learn kindness, courtesy and respect for the rights of others, they learn independence and responsibility. The Method allows the child to learn the way she learns best by doing things herself.

In a Montessori classroom the material is specially designed. It is simple, attractive and self correcting. The child can choose his own work and work at his own pace in a non competitive environment.
