The Montessori System

indentFounded by Dr. Maria Montessori in Italy in 1906. Montessori system provides a "Prepared Environment' that spurs your child to learn during his most receptive stage from 3-6 years old - a period when his mind leaps to growth. This environment is modified to suit his later development needs between 7-12 years, 13-16 and 17-20 years of age.

indentThe "Prepared Environment" conditions the child to work and concentrate. Your child will lose any bad habits of disorderliness, selfishness or dependence.

"We teachers can only help the work going
on, as servants wait upon a master. We,
therefore, become witness to the development
of the human soul."

-Dr. Maria Montessori
