The preschool
classrooms are for children ages three to six years old. This three-year
age span guarantees that children at various stages of development can
learn from and with each other. Dr. Maria Montessori designed an
environment for children that offered them the potential to be free to
engage in those activities that she observed were characteristic and
beneficial for their age group.
Dr. Montessori believed that the goal of
early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts
from a pre-selected course of studies, but rather to cultivate his own
natural desire to learn!
At the center of the Montessori method is
your child! Your child’s individual interests motivate his choice of
materials. The experienced, certified teacher will demonstrate the
appropriate use and method for each material and/or lesson and
individually assist each child in the classroom.
In the Montessori
classroom this objective is approached in two ways: first, by allowing
each child to experience the excitement of learning by his own choice
rather than by being forced; and second, by helping him to perfect all
his natural tools for learning, so that his ability will be at a maximum
in future learning situations. The Montessori materials have this dual
long-range purpose in addition to their immediate purpose of giving
specific information to the child. The child is then free to use the
materials until the desired skill or concept has been mastered.
Consequently, he may then choose to “teach” that material to another
child or to move on to a new and/or higher level of interest.
The Montessori classroom offers a wide
variety of child-sized, developmentally appropriate, self-correcting
materials that allow your child to teach himself about language,
mathematics and the varieties of cultures: music, art, geography,
botany, and the physical sciences.
The Montessori method
embraces the development of the whole child: intellectual, social,
emotional, physical and spiritual. Freedom is a positive component for
growth. The child’s ability to choose his own lessons and work at his
own pace provides each and every child the opportunity for his own
self-directed future success. With the freedom to choose among this
broad range of manipulative materials, the child is presented the
opportunity to develop his own independence, grow in competence, gain
confidence in himself and achieve positive work habits that will lead to
an everlasting appreciation for learning.
