Dr. Maria Montessori’s pioneering approach to education is rooted in observation and experimentation, harnessing the child’s natural inclination towards self-directed learning. This method honors the child’s unique essence, which Dr. Montessori termed “the child’s true normal nature” in 1907.
– Child-led learning with minimal adult intervention
– Specially designed materials that isolate specific concepts, fostering independent exploration and mastery
– Children learn through concrete, hands-on experiences, developing a deep understanding of abstract ideas
– Unfettered access to materials, allowing children to work at their own pace
– Emphasis on self-correction, encouraging children to embrace mistakes as learning opportunities
To uphold this method, our teachers create an obstacle-free environment, dividing the classroom into logical areas that cater to diverse learning levels:
– Practical Life
– Sensorial
– Language
– Math
– Art
– Science
– Computer
– Music
By embracing the Montessori Method, we empower children to embrace their natural curiosity, build confidence, and develop a lifelong love of learning.”
The Montessori Method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century, is a child-centered approach to learning that harnesses the natural curiosity and drive of children to explore and discover.
-Children learn best through sensory experiences and hands-on exploration. – A prepared environment fosters independence, self-directed learning, and growth at their own pace. – Specially designed materials with built-in “controls of error” enable children to self-teach and learn from their mistakes. – Positive reinforcement, praise, and encouragement motivate children to continue learning.
At Montessori of Woodland Hills, we have carefully created a prepared environment that empowers children to reach their full potential. Our goal is to inspire a lifelong love of learning, foster independence, and nurture confident, curious, and compassionate individuals.
