Children learn through hands on experience and develop concentration through repetition of work. Individualized cognitive growth is facilitated by a built in control of error in the materials, which allows the child to monitor and correct his own errors. Children are free to work at their own pace. They can choose what materials they would like to work with and also where they would like do to their work. The classroom combines a playful, self direction with Montessori self discipline and respect for authority. Continued efforts and progress to sustain the satisfaction and enjoyment of children through mastering tasks and engaging in activities they choose, is of our highest priorities.
