It is understood that 50% of the child's
mental intelligence has developed by the age of four. They have a
remarkable ability to learn from their environment.
Dr. Montessori's recognition of this ABSORBENT MIND led her to
develop a unique method of education.
She believed, and through the years it has been proven, that a
child needs freedom to learn so that his/her intellectual, social,
moral and spiritual development is nurtured and satisfied.
In Montessori schools this freedom of choice to learn is provided
in a prepared environment which is stimulating and interesting to
the child. This environment allows a child to satisfy his/her
curiosity in his surroundings and so develop his interests and
abilities.
All materials are very inviting and the child finds learning from
an early age an enjoyable thing to do.
Children with a Montessori background are better prepared (more
confident, more intelligent, more aware) to face the ever
changing and challenging world around them.
