Windmill Montessori School in Brooklyn, NY

Pre School Description

Montessori (pronounced MON-tuh-SORE-ee) is a comprehensive educational approach from birth to adulthood based on the observation of children's needs in a variety of cultures all around the world.
Beginning her work almost a century ago Dr. Maria Montessori developed this educational approach based on her understanding of children's natural learning tendencies as they unfold in "prepared environments" for multi-age groups (0-3 3-6 6-9 9-12 and 12-14).
The Montessori environment contains specially designed manipulative "materials for development" that invite children to engage in learning activities of their own individual choice. Under the guidance of a trained teacher children in a Montessori classroom learn by making discoveries with the materials cultivating concentration motivation self-discipline and a love of learning.
Today Montessori schools are found worldwide serving children from birth through adolescence. In the United States there are more than 4000 private Montessori schools and more than 200 public schools with Montessori-styled programs. The Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) founded by Maria Montessori in 1929 maintains Montessori educational principles and disseminates Montessori education throughout the world.
