The Montessori Method

 

Dr. Maria Montessori, the founder of the Montessori Method, devoted her life to revolutionizing education. Through careful observation, she discovered that every child has an innate desire to learn. By the time of her passing, her innovative approach was being successfully implemented in classrooms around the world.

​

The Montessori Method is more than just a curriculum—it’s a way of life. It nurtures each child’s natural curiosity and supports their individual development, allowing them to discover their unique personality, interests, and talents. Children are encouraged to make choices, move freely, and engage with their environment in meaningful ways. They learn to care for themselves, for others, and for the world around them.


The prepared environment addresses the academic and social needs of the children.  Below you will find a description of the different areas the Montessori Method focuses on.
