Montessori Education
The elementary Montessori program is based on an educational philosophy and practice that promotes lifelong learning and healthy habits, setting the child up for success academically and developmentally. The curriculum recognizes the child at this age is at the beginnings of acquiring moral judgement, is interested in the world outside the home and in social learning, and is developing imagination, abstract thinking and reasoning. Elementary children have these great potentials and sensitivities that with the right educational methods they can be guided to self-discipline and meaningful learning.

“Knowledge can be best given where there is eagerness to learn, so this is the period when the seed of everything can be sown, the child’s mind being like a fertile field, ready to receive what will germinate into culture. But if neglected during this period, or frustrated in its vital needs, the mind of the child becomes artificially dulled, henceforth to resist imparted knowledge. Interest will no longer be there if the seed be sown too late, but at six years of age all items of culture are received enthusiastically, and later these seeds will expand and grow.”
Dr. Maria Montessori
