Why Montessori

In the Montessori environment, learning is spontaneous and natural, guided by the childs own curiosity within a prepared environment; the classroom. Each child works at his or her own pace, ensuring their individual developmental needs are met, when they pass through their ‘sensitive period’.
 
Children learn to respect their environment and feel confident about their own abilities and achievements. The Montessori curriculum promotes educational objectives, thus nourishing the childs curiosity, independence and learning.
 
All areas of learning are encouraged using materials and apparatus, which are specific to the Montessori method.
 
  • Practical life encourages the promotion of self-care, care of the environment and independence.
  • Didactic materials are utilised for mathematics, geography & science, building knowledge through tactile materials.
  • Sensorial apparatus is used to make abstract concepts concrete, providing the opportunity for children to explore their senses.
  • Creativity is enhanced through the manipulation of a variety of mediums.
  • Language & literacy needs are met through a step by step process towards reading & writing.
  • Children develop respect for the natural world, allowing for the holistic development of the child.
