What is Montessori Education?
Montessori education is about freeing
children from the dominance and manipulation of adults.
It is about protecting and serving the
inner sense of wonder that exists in young children. Everyone
knows that a two-and-half year-old has awesome sense of wonder
and curiosity. They must explore, touch, and embrace anything
in which they come in contact.
Montessori education is about protecting
and serving that inner sense of wonder we have as children into
adulthood. It is about adventure and odyssey. It is about
thinking great thoughts, debating your ideas, and working to
figure things out. It is about struggling with and eventually
understanding significant issues that affect our lives.
Montessori education is about respecting
and caring for ourselves, others, and the environment.
Montessori education is about growing into
the adult that you want to become.
