FAQ's About our Montessori-Inspired Approach
Montessori education is philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that focuses on nurturing the whole child academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. It allows children to learn through purposeful activities at their own pace while building confidence, independence, and a love for learning in a thoughtfully prepared environment.
The Montessori method is a teaching approach that emphasizes guided learning rather than direct instruction. Teachers act as facilitators, introducing materials and activities that encourage children to explore, problem-solve, and make choices independently while developing focus, responsibility, and self-discipline.
The Montessori curriculum is a structured yet flexible framework that includes practical life skills, sensory activities, language, math, and cultural studies. Lessons are designed to grow with the child’s developmental stage, helping them master real-world skills, critical thinking, and creativity through hands-on experiences.
Montessori learning is an active process where children learn by doing rather than memorizing. It promotes curiosity, concentration, and intrinsic motivation by allowing children to choose meaningful work, repeat activities, and progress naturally as their understanding deepens.
The Montessori approach focuses on respecting each child’s individuality and natural development. It values independence, freedom within limits, and a calm, supportive classroom environment where children are encouraged to take initiative, collaborate with others, and develop lifelong learning habits.
