Why should I choose a Montessori education for my child?

Between the ages of 2 1/2 and six years is when most of your child's intelligence and social characteristics are formed.  It has been said that 50% of the child's mental development occurs before 4 years of age.  This is also when your child is most receptive, curious and excited about exploring the world around him or her.  A Montessori classroom nurtures that excitement and curiosity by offering a variety of materials to stimulate and intrigue your child.  The Montessori teacher is trained to recognize when a child is ready to learn a new skill and to foster his or her natural instincts and abilities.  Your child is valued as an independent thinker and encouraged to make choices on his own.

 

A Montessori education provides students of all ages with information in a way they can understand it and enjoy it - learning is fun, empowering and custom-fit to suit your child's individual learning style.  In a Montessori school, your child will learn to think in logical patterns and to deal with reality which will better prepare them to cope with the complex challenges of tomorrow's world.
