Naperville Montessori School provides Maria Montessori education. Dr. Maria Montessori believed that, given the right environment, children could learn anything.
That's why it is so important that a Montessori school provide all of the proven tools and methods developed by the doctor and perfected for the modern world.
And that's just what we do at Montessori Unlimited.
Unlike other so-called "Montessori" schools, we present children with a complete environment true to the Montessori Method, not just a few tools here and there.
Our classrooms are designed to promote self-direction and self-discipline, to allow children to create their own substantive body of knowledge through exploration and observation, following their own interests at their own pace. Highly qualified teachers we call them "directors" and "directresses" - observe, and offer guidance and support while children build their cognitive and creative abilities.
The result are children who are engaged and interested in learning, and eager to advance.
