What is Montessori?
Montessori is an educational approach developed through extensive observations of how children learn. Dr. Montessori believed in education involving all the senses and the use of self-correcting manipulatives. Montessori is to the child “the preparation for life”.

What are Montessori principles?
- A child's life is a continuum in which each stage of development is preparation for the next steps in life and, ultimately a well prepared adult.
- Children need to manipulate tangible objects in order to understand abstract concepts. When a child in a Montessori class has learned something, he or she has first seen, touched, researched or in some way discovered it personally.
- Children naturally love to learn. The Montessori teacher is trained to provide an environmentand direction that promotes learning through discovery at the “child’s own pace”.
- Children are grouped in multi-aged classrooms. The older children in the class benefit from helping the younger ones, reinforcing their own knowledge by teaching.
