School Notes Overview: |
The Montessori School of Champaign-Urbana, founded in 1962, is owned by the Montessori Society of Champaign-Urbana. The Society is a not-for-profit corporation composed primarily of the parents whose children are enrolled in the school. The Montessori School offers learning experiences to help the child satisfy his/her needs during these sensitive periods. The Montessori School affords the child many stimulations and exercises his/her senses in an orderly and controlled manner. The Montessori materials have been designed to provide a wide variety of learning experiences for the developmental needs of each child. The materials are arranged on low shelves so the the child has freedom of choice of his/her activity. Through working with the materials, which are self-corrective, the child becomes a secure, confident, independent learner. He/She experiences a deep inner-satisfaction, which leaves him/her with a positive attitude toward school and learning. The academic materials prepare the child for future studies. The child can freely choose materials for learning reading, writing, spelling, grammar, science, math and social studies and can progress at his/her own pace. In the Montessori School, tasks are programmed so that each new step is built on what the child has already mastered. Success with learning builds the child's self-confidence. ...read more
