Why would you choose Montessori for your child?
Every parent has the duty and the choice of determining which qualities they wish to instill in their child. Our habits and our methods of meeting life’s daily challenges inform our children of the ‘correct’ way to live, and they carry these teachings with them into adulthood. Maria Montessori, founder of the Montessori school of thought, firmly believed that young children have incredibly absorbent minds, assimilating all that they see, hear and experience. The child self, and subsequently the adult self, is created from this absorption of total surroundings. By thoughtfully planning the environment in which children live and learn, the Montessori method provides the positive experiences most parents want their children to have in order to grow up with healthy minds, healthy attitudes and healthy life strategies.
If you think it’s important for a child to…
be vibrantly inquisitive about new things
enjoy the process of learning
acquire fine motor skills
develop an analytical mind
work independently
work without disrupting others
work well with others
be able to focus his/her mind on the task at hand
respect others
respect his/her own mind and abilities
feel purposeful and valuable
derive satisfaction from achievements
become an independent, confident adult
…then you might wish to choose Montessori for your child.
