Maria Montessori Education Centre

Montessori philosophy emphasizes respect for the child, and setting the child up to succeed. These are key values for our school, reflected in our policies and actions. A key element of Montessori education is the Prepared Environment: Montessori method removes many of the obstacles in the environment that contribute to unsettled children. The children derive a sense of security and peacefulness from the order and structure of their environment, which in turn invites and engages the child. Children innately need to move, touch and gain experiences; by providing this in a prepared environment we are fulfilling their intellectual and spiritual needs and a calm expansion of life takes place. The whole school structure provides a foundation for the Montessori program, and philosophy is implemented through all aspects of the day. All Guides, Assistants and staff model a Montessori spirit.
