-Maria Montessori
The Montessori approach to education was pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first female Italian physician. She formulated this method through extensive scientific observations of children worldwide. From these observations, Dr. Montessori identified consistent, innate tendencies and traits in children, which formed the basis for creating meticulously prepared environments conducive to nurturing and maximizing their potential.
While all teaching methods facilitate moments of learning, what sets Montessori apart is its unique methodology. Recognizing the child’s mind as a receptive sponge, always eager to absorb new knowledge, Montessori education aims to cultivate a lifelong thirst for learning.
Picture a school where education is not merely a means to an end but a fundamental support for life itself. Here, learning doesn’t stem from a rigid curriculum but rather from the natural progression of each child’s development. It’s a place where creativity, innovation, and individuality hold as much importance as focus, motivation, and resilience. In this environment, your child isn’t just a student but also a teacher, contributing to the dynamic exchange of knowledge and ideas.
Mountainview Montessori is committed to providing the highest quality learning environment for children. We have implemented a “prepared environment” here at Mountainview Montessori for all the children to have an opportunity to be successful and exceed their fullest potential.
The Montessori Method was developed in the 1900´s by Dr. Maria Montessori. She based her method on the premise that each child is born with a natural curiosity for life and its surroundings. The goal is to motivate and stimulate a child´s natural desire to learn.
We create an environment for children to grow, develop, and apply their skills to everyday life. From problem solving, to taking the initiative, we make sure we nurture children every step of the way. We are positive that we will make a difference to benefit your child.
