Our school follows The Montessori Method for early education. Dr Maria Montessori realized that a young child had great potential for learning.
To challenge a young mind she developed an alternative method of teaching that emphasized specially trained teachers and uniquely designed learning materials and apparatus – thus stimulating a child’s mind.
She believed that children’s innate desire to learn should be cultivated in their formative years to develop an even stronger desire to learn that will stay with them through life.
Montessori classroom environment is prepared and structured to allow a child to learn trough exploring independently and at his or her own pace.
“We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.”
Maria Montessori
