Our Montessori essence
Montessori is an approach to education that encourages children to be constructive and take charge of their learning and development.
It promotes self-discipline, independence and responsibility through age appropriate academics and practical work.
In the classroom, Montessori materials help guide the children in a self paced learning environment. Mixed age groups enhance positive social interactions, and Montessori trained teachers use learning activities, materials and projects to promote healthy social, emotional and academic development.
Montessori is an open way of working, it is a way of relating to others and to the environment, it is a way of solving problems.
