... is the environment offered to the child so that he may be given the opportunity to develop his activities.
-Maria Montessori
At Montessori Garden, our aim is to help children ages three to six become self-confident individuals. The school is organized to allow the child to move freely in an environment which has been especially prepared by an accredited Montessori teacher.
Our method is observation, to see and understand each child and to teach skills utilizing each child's interests and talents. We provide an attractive, child sized atmosphere where the child is free to discover how to learn. We know that learning is fun and we promote a disciplined environment where children can work and play together with joy and spontaneity.
Montessori philosophy is based on several ideas. ~ a child's personal dignity is essential for learning ~ all we know is learned through our sensory apparatus ~ a child: must be free to explore the environment at his own pace needs sensible, consistent rules and limits appreciates routine and an orderly environment is a social being and wants to make a contribution ~ sensitive periods in early childhood allow learning to be effortless ~ three years of Montessori education provides a foundation for lifetime learning
