The Philosophy of Montessori Education
Learning the right answers will get a child through school, but learning how to learn is a better preparation for life. Dr. Montessori recognised that the best motivation for learning is self-motivation. She created the materials, the activities and the environment to help each child develop his capabilities at his own speed, guided by teachers but stimulated by his natural desire to explore, experience and learn. Montessori educated children from positive images of themselves as successful people and gain self-confidence to become independent learners."We must support as much as possible the child's desires for activity; not wait on him, but educate him to be independent" - Maria Montessori
At Little Fingers and Teeny Boppers Montessori Schools we aim to encourage and stimulate children from 2 to 5 years of age to develop intelligence, skills and imagination through their exploration of Montessori equipment, a second language and music, in an environment which is warm, friendly and aesthetically pleasing. In such an environment learning becomes fun and purposeful.
