Montessori

The Montessori approach to education is based on the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, who developed a “prepared environment” that offers both structure and freedom in mixed age group classes. The order of the classroom and skills learned while using attractive, carefully designed materials provide the child with a rich and structured environment. The “Montessori Method” has earned fame for its success in recognizing the uniqueness of each child and the insistence upon allowing children to develop according to individual abilities, interests, and speed within the prepared environment.
