Preschool Philosophy

Montessori is a philosophy and a teaching concept developed by Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) in Europe during the early 1900's.

Montessori philosophy advocates independence and self-reliance; that a child's early education should be reality oriented and should aid the development of the child's physical mental social and emotional being.

Montessori identified the fact that all children pass through a "sensitive period" for sensory-motor activities; a time In which they experience a keen interest in touching tasting smelling seeing hearing and exploring everything they come into contact with.

Montessori philosophy allows the child to acquire a love for and joy in work; and the satisfaction of a task that is completed and well done. But mostly the realization of who he/she is and the development of a secure individual.

Dr. Montessori discovered that children possess amazing mental concentration and a love for repetition and order. If allowed to choose their own activities they preferred work to play and needed no reward or punishment.

She developed teaching materials termed "didactic" which allow the child to develop at his or her own rate of speed through a particular skill or conceptual level. If the materials are presented at the appropriate time accordingly the child will absorb the information and use it as a foundation for his/her future accomplishments.

Most of all Montessori's philosophy stresses the Innate potential of the child to develop in environmental conditions of freedom and love.
