The young child has a strong desire to understand the order in the world and a unique ability to absorb new concepts.
The Montessori environment is a miniature world, carefully and attractively designed, which the child can examine and control.
The child learns by working with a rich variety of manipulative materials. The three year curriculum includes practical life, sensorial, language, history, science, art, music, and movement.
Ability to focus on a chosen activity aids the child in developing concentration and a logical approach to problem solving.
The Montessori materials present one concept at a time in a sequential manner, thus increasing the child's chance for successful completion and encouraging confidence and concentration.
The child gains a sense of peaceful satisfaction from his or her accomplishments.
Dr. Montessori recognized that self-motivation is the only
valid impulse to learning. Our teachers prepare the environment, offer
activities, function as a reference person and exemplar and observe the child
constantly in order to encourage the process of learning how to learn.
But it is the child who learns to persist in a chosen task. He/She does this by
building habits of concentration, perseverance and thoroughness.
Montessori Child Development Center establishes the core of the Montessori
philosophy through the acquisition of good habits and manners. The children are
introduced to the joy of learning in their early years enabling them to become
confident and competent learners in their
later years.
Maria Montessori, the founder of the educational method that bears her name, observed that young children possess “absorbent minds”. They are capable of learning all manner of things – math and language concepts, self-help and social skills, athletic and artistic activities – with relative ease.
