The Montessori method is a system of education that is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for guiding such growth.
It is based on children's developmental needs for freedom within limits, as well as, a carefully prepared environment, which guarantees exposure to materials and experiences.
It is designed to take full advantage of children's desire to learn and their unique abilities to develop their own capabilities.
The basic tenet of Montessori education is that a child learns best in an enriched, supportive environment through exploration, discovery and creativity with the guidance and encouragement of a trained and caring staff.
