At Charlevoix Childrens House we celebrate the child! We are a Montessori community dedicated to providing a learning environment that guides nurtures and enriches the individual. Maria Montessori an Italian physician developed the Montessori Philosophy and method of education in 1896. The premise of her work is that children interact with materials and learn from their environment not from the teacher. Maria Montessori developed what she called the prepared environment. Among its features is an ordered arrangement of learning materials in a noncompetitive atmosphere which helps each child develop at his/her own rate. Children learn through doing. A childs play is a childs work. At Charlevoix Childrens House the process not the product is taught. The ultimate goal is that each child be responsible for his or her own education.
