Our approach
Montessori, simply put
Children learn by doing, at their own pace, in a setting prepared for them.
Four key ideas
Independence
“Help me to do it myself”: everyday skills, step by step.
Hands-on
Understanding with the hands before words.
Observation
The adult observes, then offers the right activity.
Pace
Time to repeat, and to succeed.
Our materials
Pink tower, red and blue rods, continent puzzles, maps: the materials are on display and within reach in our rooms.
During a visit, we’ll show you how they are used.
The adult’s role
They prepare the space, show the gesture, then step back.
They praise effort more than results.
Good to know
The method was created in the early twentieth century by Maria Montessori, an Italian physician.
“Montessori” is not a protected trademark: each setting applies it in its own way. Come and see ours.
