Now is the perfect time to explore the Montessori Method…

What is the Montessori Method?

 

Celebrating more than 100 years of teaching and the nurturing young ones, Montessori methods are different from traditional daycare teaching methods because the individual child, not the teacher, is the focus. Whereas traditional teaching is instructor-focused, with a curriculum that is structured for the whole class, with same-age grouping and a social development focus, Montessori learning is based on:

 

 

Montessori education is devoted to helping each child achieve his or her potential and develop a lifelong love of learning. An attractive and orderly prepared environment, unique learning materials, and special way of viewing and teaching the child are essential parts of Montessori education.

 

Peace education is also an important part of Montessori education. Maria Montessori believed education was the most powerful and universal way through which to reconstruct society; a way to transition from war to peace.
