The Montessori approach to learning encourages the child to take an
active, independent role in his/her education. In the words of Dr. Maria
Montessori, "education is not acquired by listening to words,
but in virtue of experiences in which the child acts on the environment."
The goal of the Garden Montessori School and the Montessori philosophy is to build a foundation for a lifetime of creative learning in the child; to develop the characteristics of responsibility, initiative, independence, and self-confidence. The child learns persistence, a sense of order, the ability to concentrate, and develops an increased curiosity. In total, a positive attitude toward exploration, discovery, and learning. Children are led to become acquainted with themselves, to learn what they can do and to take pride in their achievements.
Learning isn't something that begins and ends in a classroom.
Education is spread across a lifetime. Garden Montessori
School builds foundations for a lifetime of learning.
Garden Montessori School is a place for a child to develop
self-confidence and independence. A place where curiosity,
persistence, and responsibility are nutured. Where an outstanding
group of of Montessori teachers make joy and enthusiaism an
everyday fare.
Based on the Montessori philosophy, Garden Montessori School is designed to give each child a structured environment where he can develop at his own pace. By working with his world, a child has real-life expriences that lead to abstract understanding. Creative materials like sandpaper letters and moveable numbers make fundamentals clear and graspable. Practical life projects help him understand himself and others, learn self-control and consideration. Adventures with art, music, history, science, and geography offer the excitement of exploration and discovery.
At Garden Montessori School, a child learns the joy of learning...an education that lasts a lifetime. For more information, or if you have any questions or comments, please view the rest of this website or contact the director.
