We look forward to hearing from you!
Montessori Education was founded in 1907 by Dr. Maria Montessori, who discovered that children teach themselves, and thus the role of the teacher should be that of a guide as opposed to a lecturer. Montessori established “the prepared environment” to further enhance the children’s ability to learn. This environment puts great emphasis on being accessible to children.
The Montessori Classroom features five areas: Practical life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language and Culture. The classes see children placed in three year age groupings which establishes communities of children willing and able to share their knowledge with their peers. The younger classmates learn from observing the older ones, the older ones are put in a position of authority and example to the younger ones. The Montessori child is one who is self disciplined, always willing to learn, co-operative, independent and curious about life. Learning is an exciting, life-long process, which the Montessori child enjoys to the fullest.
