Founded in 2007, Children's Montessori Center serves infants through Kindergarten. Our teachers are certified in Montessori. Families are invited to become involved with the school in many capacities. Art, music, and movement are integrated into each daily schedule. Service learning is an integral philosophy of our program. We offer small class sizes, high quality care and instruction, and affordable options for fees and tuition.
Goals Of A Montessori Education:
~to stimulate the child’s innate love of learning
~to provide a nurturing, cooperative learning environment
~to incorporate all the senses in the learning experience
~to consider the whole child
`~to encourage respect for self, others, the environment, and all life
The Environment
Montessori classrooms were developed to give students the perfect space to discover, explore, and learn. Beauty and order are an essential part of the prepared environment that allows the child to thrive.
The teacher's role is to guide the child toward independence and help develop concentration and organizational skills. Activities with Montessori materials called "works" help achieve these goals.
Independence
Students are allowed to pursue areas of their interest. The classroom boasts activities that include practical life, sensorial, language, math, geography, botany, art and science. Uninterrupted work time gives children the opportunity to focus and concentrate. The classroom calms as the students relax and work. Respect for the environment and classmates promotes self control and develops strong social and academic skills.
The benefit of multi-age classrooms
The benefit of a multi-age classroom is that children learn from each other with ease. When one child learns a new skill such as tying his shoe, the other children take notice. There is a sense of joy that catches on as the next child becomes ready to learn a new skill.
