Montessori

Children are taught to work cooperatively within a group and to develop the self-discipline required to perform a task. The stimulating environment and the children's and teacher's enthusiasm encourage the development of individual talents and interests- children attain confidence through individual achievement. We provide each child with what he or she needs to grow independently.

Children are encouraged to reach their full potential through teaching methods that develop the whole personality of the child - not only intellectually, but also their powers of deliberation, initiative, independent choice and emotional development. The overall goal of each classroom is to have the children enjoying themselves while learning at his/her own pace and to begin the education process with a positive attitude and good habits of mind for school.

Attractive and colorful materials enhance the growing child's gross and fine motor coordination while stimulating sensory and intellectual development. Children play in block areas, paint, prepare their own snack, play with puzzles and or read while the teachers and assistants work with one child or in a small group.
