Preschool in Kansas City, MO 64119
Important announcement: Summer is near and the children will start spending more time outside – at least thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes in the afternoon. Tennis shoes are best for outdoor play. If your child prefers to wear flip flops or dress shoes to school, please be sure to have a pair of play shoes or tennis shoes on hand at school for outdoor play. This helps lessen the chances of slips and falls. Thank you for your help!
Dr. Maria Montessori believed that no human being is educated by another person. He must do it himself or it will never get done. A truly educated individual continues learning long after the hours and years he spends in the classroom because he is motivated from within by a natural curiosity and love for knowledge. Dr. Montessori felt, therefore, that the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies, but rather to cultivate his own natural desire to learn.

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that no human being is educated by another person. He must do it himself or it will never get done. A truly educated individual continues learning long after the hours and years he spends in the classroom because he is motivated from within by a natural curiosity and love for knowledge. Dr. Montessori felt, therefore, that the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies, but rather to cultivate his own natural desire to learn.
In the Montessori classroom this objective is approached in two ways: first, by allowing each child to experience the excitement of learning by his own choice rather than by being forcedd; and second, by helping him to perfect all his natural tools for learning, so that his ability will be ata maximum in future learning situations. The Montessori materials have this dual long-range purpose in addition to their immediate purpose of giving specific information to the child.
