Our Montessori Program:

Learning is individualized with the direct aim of assisting the child to achieve inner discipline, independence, confidence, and self-esteem as well as consideration for others and and a love of learning.
Our children work both individually and in group from an ordered arrangement of learning materials attractively displayed on low shelves. The children receive individual attention in a happy and relaxed atmosphere where older children help the younger children.
The Montessori Philosophy:
The Montessori teaching method is based upon:
- The child's creative potential
- The child's desire to learn
- A child's right to be treated as an individual
Maria Montessori was a developmentalist. She created a teaching philosophy to coincide with the "sensitive" developmental stages of the child. 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, etc...
For General Principals:
- Observation
- Spirituality
- Independence and Responsibility
Sensitive Periods:
These "sensitive periods" of development highlight when a child's interest and mental capacity are best suited for learning. Maria Montessori believed to support the child's learning we must identify and then focus in on certain sensitive periods in the child's development. As the child passes through these periods, we must furnish the child with what will help them respond and learn.
