Why Montessori

Educators and psychologists agree that intelligence undergoes important development between birth and age six. Dr. Maria Montessori's theory described this is as ‘Absorbent Mind’. A child’s mind is like a sponge and curiosity is at its peak during the early years. When properly nourished and stimulated, the child forms healthy patterns for a lifetime of learning. The Montessori system of education stands as a proven and highly effective approach for guiding children through their crucial developmental years.

“I hear and I forget, I see and I remember, I do and I understand” - Dr. Maria Montessori

Educational research today is reinforcing the importance of movement and learning. We recognize the value of a holistic approach to education including experiential learning, self-directed learning, and the learner-centered approach – the educational Montessori method and Principles that Dr. Montessori developed.
