Key Principles of the Montessori Approach
-
Respect for the Child
-
Prepared Environment- we start each day with prepared materials and lessons designed to target skills
-
Freedom within Limits: Children have the liberty to explore, choose, and work independently within clear boundaries that promote responsibility, respect, and order.
-
Self-Directed Learning: Education is tailored to each child's unique needs, interests, and pace of development.
-
Mixed-Age Classrooms: Older and younger students learn from and support one another, building a sense of community.
-
Intrinsic Motivation: Montessori nurtures a natural love of learning rather than relying on rewards or competition.
-
Individualized Education
Overall, the Montessori approach aims to foster independence, creativity, critical thinking, and a lifelong love of learning in children, preparing them to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Why Choose Montessori?
Ten years ago, while searching for childcare for my two young sons, I discovered a Montessori preschool. Its child-led approach resonated with our home life, offering the benefits I desired for my children. They thrived, learning at their own pace, developing conflict resolution skills, and mastering practical life tasks. Inspired, I pursued a career in elementary education. Returning to Joplin in 2021 reignited my passion for Montessori. With bittersweet joy, I bid farewell to my elementary classroom, embracing the opportunity to establish my own Montessori school. Our dedicated team eagerly awaits the chance to nurture and educate your children, sharing the enriching Montessori philosophy with love and expertise. Together, we hope to inspire:
Harmony within ourselves.
Harmony with others.
Harmony within the community.
Harmony with nature.
