Montessori education - "an assist to life.":
A Montessori education is based on scientific observations made by Dr. Montessori of the young child. Dr. Montessori said, "It is simply an assist to life." She noted that young children learn with great ease by simply "absorbing" like a sponge everything to which they are exposed, rather than learning through logical analysis. This is called the absor
bent mind. Dr. Montessori found that there are periods during which the energy of the child's total being seems to be focused upon a particular stage of development such as walking, talking, writing, and reading. These are called sensitive periods. In a Montessori classroom, the prepared learning environment is designed to support these sensitive periods of the children and allow them to easily learn at their own individual rhythm. Areas of a prepared environment include practical life, sensorial, math, language, science, geography, art, music & movement. Vision:
Our vision is for children and families to experience an individualized education that builds the foundation for a lifetime of success and a love of learning through specialized teachers lessons and material.
