Words of Wisdom

“It is true that we cannot make a genius. We can only give to teach child the chance to fulfil his potential possibilities.”

“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.”

"The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, 'The children are now working as if I did not exist.'"

Our Philosophy

 

Montessori education is based on the theory of Italian physician, Maria Montessori (1870-1952). Dr. Montessori observed that a child’s mind was like a sponge, absorbing knowledge from everything around him/her. From this observation, she developed a theory of education based on the child’s inner desire to explore and learn about the world around him/her. 

She believed that the child was in the process of constructing himself/herself. She also believed that children learn best when they work in a purposeful manner using materials which progress from the concrete to the abstract. 

Maria Montesorri and students

Montessori education provides an outstanding preparation for the child's next educational step.  At the Montessori Center for Learning we follow Dr. Montessori’s philosophy of education, encouraging the growth and education of the whole child.
