The Montessori method of teaching is founded on the premise that all young children pass through a well-defined sequence of steps to maturity but at different rates of growth and in different ways. Growth is as individual as each child. Advancement within a child varies from skill to skill. Presented with the proper instruments and direction however a child’s curiosity and eagerness to comprehend the world will motivate him/her to move from mastery to one task to another with tenacity seldom seen in adults.
English Oaks Montessori believes that before children can take advantage of a good education they need to know how to learn. Only then can we aid children in the development of basic skills and the ability to judge think and create. Our school introduces the child to the joy of learning by providing a framework in which intellectual and social discipline can develop. When children learn how to think and reason they can give intelligent responses. We welcome you to our school and encourage you to observe for yourself what makes our school so special for your children.
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. Our school typifies Montessori education through its concern for the environment the community the child and the teacher.
