"The secret of good teaching is to regard the child's intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination
Maria Montessori

 

 


 

The Montessori Method

The Montessori Method of teaching is founded on the premise that all young children pass through a well-defined sequence of steps to maturity, but at different rSensory Cabnetates of growth and in different ways. Growth is as individual as each child. Advancement within a child varies from skill to skill. Presented with the proper instruments and direction, however, a child's curiosity and eagerness to comprehend the world will motivate him/her to move from mastery to one task to another with tenacity seldom seen in adults.

The Montessori Group believes that before children can take advantage of a good education, they need to know how to learn. Only then can we aid children in the development of basic skills and the ability to judge, think and create. Each school introduces Childthe child to the joy of learning by providing a framework in which intellectual and social discipline can develop. When children learn how to think and reason, they can give intelligent responses. We welcome you to each of our schools and encourage you to observe for yourself what makes our school so special for your children.

The teacher acts as a facilitator of learning. Extensive training-a minimum of a full year following the baccalaureate degree is required for a full AMS credential, including a year's student teaching under supervision-is specialized for the age group with which a teacher will work, i.e., infant and toddler, three to six year olds, elementary or secondary level.
