Rockledge Montessori
Preschool in Rockledge, FL 32955
The Montessori classrooms provide a prepared environment in where children can be driven naturally to work and learn. The children’s inherent love of learning is encouraged by giving them the opportunity to be spontaneous and engage in meaningful activities under the guidance of a trained instructor. Through their work children develop concentration motivation persistence and discipline. Within this framework of order they progress at their pace and rhythm according to their individual capabilities.
Acquiring the love of learning and learn how to learn is our goal. With this in mind we have organized our curriculum which is ahead of the traditional curriculum. We have based our curriculum on the Maria Montessori teachings. The curriculum presents lessons simple and concretely in the early years and are introduced again in a more abstract and complex presentation during the subsequent years.

Montessori Education is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for quality in that development. The special method named for the Italian physician Maria Montessori stresses the importance of the development of a healthy self-concept. Education she believed is a preparation for life not merely a search for intellectual skills. The child has one intuitive aim – his self development. He desperately wants to develop his inner resources and his ability to cope with a strange complex world. The child who accomplishes this moves into harmony with his world and becomes a full person. The Montessori Method pursues the fact that the mind of the very young child is absorbent and thus the environment should be prepared carefully to train his senses to stimulate his curiosity to satisfy his need to know and to protect him from unnecessary failure. Montessori’s philosophy and psychological principles led her to devise carefully graded series of self-teaching devices that are now commonly accepted and supported by current research. Each school typifies Montessori education through its concern for the environment the child and the teacher.
