What is Montessori?
Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator spent many years applying her scientific observations to the method and practice of teaching.
Her innovative methods were based on the belief that children learn best when they are given freedom within a structured environment that nurtures their natural curiosity, independence, and love for learning. This child-centered approach is what we now know as “The Montessori Method”.
In contrast to traditional education, children are encouraged to explore their interests at their own pace. This nurtures curiosity and an intrinsic love for learning from an early age. As Maria Montessori said, “The greatest sign of success for a teacher… is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.'”
Our Montessori program is designed to help your child grow a lifelong curiosity for learning in an environment that is purposefully designed to meet their unique developmental needs.
