What Makes Montessori Stand Apart?
The Whole Child Approach
-
Each child's needs for the next step are considered individually.
-
Classroom atmosphere promotes development of leadership abilities.
-
Emotional Intelligence fostered.
-
Social skill development made possible in an open concept style of learning.
-
A sense of "community" because of the different age groups in one classroom.
-
"Hands on" equipment allows for "body or sensorial" learning, which is how the child "absorbs" learning.
-
The joy and wonder of learning is preserved!
The highest goal of this type of educational environment is to make it possible for each child to reach their full potential in all areas of life. Activities promote the development of social skills, emotional growth, and physical coordination as well as preparation for future intellectual academic endeavors. The holistic curriculum, under the direction of a specifically prepared teacher, allows the child to experience the joy of learning. It also allows the time needed for the processes of true integration of skills to form. And, certainly not least, it allows and ensures the development of self esteem. |
