Preschool Philosophy

At the turn of the century Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) the first woman physician in Italy developed the Montessori method of education. From her keen observations Dr. Montessori established the method of education that has universally been effective.

Her philosophy of education is summed up in the single phrase: "Preparation for Life." In the preparation the child is made aware of the six areas of life's drama practical life sensorial linguistic mathematical and cultural. The basic idea in the Montessori philosophy of education is that all children carry within themselves the person they will become. In order to develop physical intellectual and spiritual potential to the fullest the child must have freedom. A freedom to be achieved through order and self discipline.

The world of the child is full of sights and sounds which at first appear chaotic. From this chaos children must gradually create order learn to distinguish from the impressions that assail their senses and slowly but surely gain mastery of themselves and their environment. Dr. Montessori developed what she called the "Prepared Environment" which already possesses a certain order and allows children to learn at their own pace according to their own capacities and in a non-competitive atmosphere. As she said "Never let children risk failure until they have reasonable chances of success."
