At Mel-O-Dee Montessori we encourage children at every level to be tolerant of others, to recognize and appreciate the differences of others, and to be comfortable with themselves.
We believe that:
Children have within them a natural urge to explore and discover the world around them. Children find joy in learning when they are actively engaged in the learning process. Children learn best in an environment of mutual respect, and one that provides opportunities for cognitive, social, emotional, moral and physical growth. Children internalize concepts and skills at their own pace. Children learn best when competencies are fostered through repetitive, succesSFul experiences, and failures are de-emphasizEducation Children need opportunities to make choices, thereby fostering independence, self-esteem and self-discipline. Developmental needs of children are universal and transcend cultural differences.
