Philosophy of Peaceful Heights Montessori School
The Montessori PreSchool program offers independent, small group and collective instruction. This type of learning takes place in a multi-aged environment and allows the child the opportunity to remain with the same teacher for three years. These years establish close relationships among children, teachers and work. It permits a variety of learning skills, using dynamic and beautiful manipulatives which demonstrate abstract concepts.
These rich materials are used throughout the curriculum, which includes mathematics, language, geography, art science and music.
Montessori Education
Dr, Maria Montessori, created the Montessori Method of Education. It was through her observation and work that Dr. Montessori believed that no person is educated by another. The young child gains his/her information through the rich environment. This environment richly supports a curriculum that allows the child to develop his/her own potentialities through activities based on skills essential for a life time of creative thinking and learning. Her work was documented as a science and is being verified as science today.
This environment is called the Children’s House. Dr. Montessori believed that the hand was the vehicle for learning. There must be concentration on a specific activity by the child. This young child has an “Absorbent Mind”. He/she absorbs all information from his environment.
It is with materials in this special environment, that the child learns to self-correct and set about on a path of lifelong learning. The child is allowed to develop self-discipline, be independent and respect staff, peers and the world around him/her.
