What our organization offers:
Our students are between two and six years of age, and many parents, seeing bunches of such young children, expect to witness significant levels of noise, if not outright chaos. A primary commitment of the Montessori method is not rigid discipline but trust that if children are presented with materials finely tuned to their emerging capacities, they will become naturally absorbed in exploring simultaneously, and through an exquisitely quiet interaction, the possibilities of both the materials and themselves.
Montessori classrooms are also distinctive in their multi-age structure, which elicits leadership from older children and naturally enlists younger children in learning from physically proximate role models. Part of the magic in the Children’s House is seeing an especially shy five-year-old drawn into a leadership role by younger children who, without any external prompting, turn for help to more experienced classmates.
