Montessori Parent Education
For nearly a century, perhaps one of the best-kept "secrets" in education has been the highly successful approach developed by the first female physician in Italy, Dr. Maria Montessori.
Despite the fact that Dr. Maria Montessori began developing this method of education in 1901, advocates of this method insist that it is on the cutting edge of the current reform movement in education. The Montessori program includes:
- multi-age classrooms
- early childhood education
- a rich extensive curriculum
- individualized instruction and curriculum
- writing before reading
- exposure to classical literature
- testing by portfolio
- development of self-discipline
- teaching values
- allowing self-discovery instead of spoon-fed information
- using hands-on materials
- fostering scientific and mathematical aptitudes
- nurturing appreciation for history and timelines
- instilling value and appreciation for history and timelines
- instilling value and appreciation for cultural differences
- caring for our global environment
- school setting with a "family atmosphere"
Since the system was re-introduced to the United States around 1960, thousands of private and many public Montessori schools have opened.
We are proud of our program and our teachers who believe in the method and protect the philosophy within the Montessori classroom environment.
