What is Montessori?
Montessori is an education philosophy that fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children and adolescents in all areas of their development, with a goal of nurturing each child’s natural desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.
For more than a century now, the child-focused approach that Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, developed for educating children has been transforming schools around the globe. As soon as you enter a classroom, you know that something different is afoot. Montessori classrooms are immediately recognizable. You will see children working independently and in groups, often with specially designed learning materials; deeply engaged in their work; and respectful of themselves and their surroundings. The Montessori Method fosters rigorous, self-motivated growth for children and adolescents in all areas of their development—cognitive, emotional, social, and physical.
Montessori Method
Montessori education is student focused and self-paced. It is guided, assessed, and enriched by knowledgeable teachers, the leadership of their peers, and a nurturing environment.
Within the community of a multi-age classroom—designed to create natural opportunities for independence, citizenship, and accountability—children embrace multi-sensory learning and passionate inquiry. Individual students follow their own curiosity at their own pace, taking the time they need to fully understand each concept and meet individualized learning goals.
Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students grow up to be confident, enthusiastic, and self-directed learners and citizens, accountable to both themselves and their community. They think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly and with integrity.
The Philosophy
We believe that creating an environment that encourages individuality can help spark a child’s desire for learning. By providing purposeful tasks to help children achieve self-satisfaction is most important. It is important because self satisfaction leads to motivation.
At Mighty Sprouts, we’ve developed a program where children are encouraged to be curious. The most important years for child is their first six years. By exposing our children to the Montessori Method of teaching, we move one step closer to building a solid foundation to further their development and unlock their potential at a young age. We encourage them to ask question and think outside box.
