Key Ideas in Montessori Education

- Dr Maria Montessori began her career as an educator of children in Rome 1907 and since this time her method has become famous for the high levels of achievement attained by its pupils.

- A specially prepared environment     enables children to achieve using self correcting equipment that promotes concentration skills.

- Maria believed that our children learn best in a structured environment, which allows freedom of choice and movement.

- Each activity chosen, has a specific purpose and use and will promote learning in maths, literacy, the world and science.

- This structured environment has a wide
range of learning materials, specifically designed activities reflecting all areas of your child's development. Everything within the classroom has a specific use and purpose.

The unique self-correcting material of        the Montessori classroom allows the child to work at their own pace, while discovering for themselves. Your child will naturally progress through the various pieces of equipment whilst being gently guided by the teachers.As a natural consequence of your child's play with our integrated language and mathematical material, your child will one day suddenly discover that they can read and write, do enormous sums - apparently without effort. Our hope is that your child will leave our school confident, happy, having awakened their interest in all subjects and have a love of learning that will stay with them forever.
