The Prepared Environment Is A Wonderful Learning Tool
Montessori learning spaces are neat, orderly, and meticulously prepared to give your toddler a sense of order and orientation. They know where to find their materials; thus, the classroom acts as your child’s teacher. Core Principles of the Montessori Method include:
- Self-directed work
- Mixed-age groups
- Hands-on materials
A Specialized Art Program Inspires Lasting Creativity
Art helps your child gain a sense of self by expressing ideas. It also helps grow their confidence and exercise their fine motor skills. Children learn about great artists and their contributions to the world while Montessori teachers guide them.
Montessori-Certified Teachers Make A World Of Difference
Accept no imitations. Your child’s teachers are Montessori-certified, illustrating their commitment to delivering the method that leads a global early learning movement. They are not only knowledgeable and caring, they ensure your child’s natural passion stays alive.
Mixed Age Groups To Help Them Learn From Each Other
Children build a community in a mixed-age environment where they can demonstrate leadership as the eldest and observation as the youngest. Naturally helpful, your child’s peers contribute to the holistic learning of language, math, science, and art.
Practical Life Skills That Promote Independence
The Montessori approach gives your child practical life skills that prepare them for real-world living. Practical life materials in the classroom allow them to learn simple things such as spooning, pouring, dressing, or caring for themselves and the environment while refining gross motor skills.
Enrichments Such As Yoga And Spanish Are Included In Tuition
Yoga benefits the body and soul and introduces your child to movement and mindfulness. Spanish lessons expose children to expanded vocabulary while sharpening communication skills. Enrichments add value and excitement to your child’s day.
The PEACE Curriculum Helps Navigate Emotions
The PEACE Curriculum is an essential component in the Montessori classroom. The curriculum teaches children to resolve conflicts peacefully. Each classroom has a Peace Corner with a rose in a vase that the children use to symbolize a medium for resolving conflict.
Tending A Garden Is Good For The Soul
When children help maintain a garden, it gives them a sense of accountability and stewardship. Being outdoors is ideal for learning about plants’ life cycles and sometimes the little creatures they see outside. All this while invigorating and regulating their mood.
