Montessori Method

THE MONTESSORI APPROACH

The Montessori Approach offers a broad vision of education as an aid to life. It sees the children as they really are and creates environments, which foster the fulfillment of their highest potential - spiritual, social, emotional, physical, and intellectual. Montessori classrooms provide a prepared environment where children are free to respond to their natural tendency to work. The children's innate passion for learning is encouraged by giving them opportunities to engage in spontaneous, purposeful activities with the guidance of a trained Montessori directress. Through their work, the children develop concentration, independence, self-confidence and self-discipline.

THE INTERACTION

The class is vertically grouped such that the little ones can learn from the older children and the older children learn by teaching and taking care of the younger ones. A warm and caring environment gives the children a feeling of peace and love for the environment as well as for one another. Therefore a Montessori classroom allows for both individual and social development.
