The Montessori classroom offers many opportunities for the young child to explore the world around him. Through the use of wall charts, nature cards, colorful books, puzzles, matching games, audio and video tapes, and hands on materials children learn the basics of science and geography.
The Montessori Program is geared to teaching the whole child. Their individual instructional needs are met with a variety of methods and techniques. The student’s academic achievement and success are of the highest importance. Equally important are moral standards of the child which are necessary for personal and social development.
The habits and skills that a child develops in a Montessori class are good for a lifetime. They will help him to work more efficiently, to observe more carefully and to concentrate more effectively, no matter where he goes. If a child is in a stimulating environment, whether at home or at school, his self-education—which is the only real education – will continue.
“One test of the correctness of educational procedure is the happiness of the child.”
Maria Montessori
