We understand that each and every child is incredibly unique, and God made them that way. Each child is going to think, operate, dream, and learn differently than his or her peers. To expect every child to find success in one route or vision of learning is an unrealistic expectation. The Montessori method understands this truth and has created a path of learning that each unique child can thrive in.
What is the Montessori method?
Montessori is a scientifically based education approach that emphasizes independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child's natural psychological, physical, and social development. The education process is based on the belief that all children are unique individuals, that they all have immense potential, and that they want to learn and be busy. Therefore, the teacher needs to guide each child through the learning process by using materials that fit their specific needs and pace.
When you walk into a Montessori inspired classroom you can recognize that something different is happening.
