Our approach
Montessori, in our own words
A room built for children
Furniture is child-sized, and materials sit on low open shelves, so a child can choose work and put it back without asking.
Guides who step back
A guide gives a short lesson, then watches. Every child moves at their own pace, and we call it Montessori because that is how the rooms work.
On the shelves
Four areas of the room
Practical life
Pouring, sweeping, buttoning, washing a table. Real tasks at a child's size.
Sensorial
Wooden blocks, cylinders and color tablets to look at, handle and compare.
Language
Songs, stories and sandpaper letters, with a word for what a child is doing.
Math
Counting with beads, rods and tiles that children can hold and move.
See it in a room
Standing in a Montessori room shows more than a description can.
