Introducing Montessori

“Do not erase the designs the child makes in the soft wax of his inner life.”

- Maria Montessori

There are many misconceptions about a Montessori education. Some believe children are allowed to do whatever they want, while others think it is too rigid and leaves no room for socialization. In reality, Montessori is neither.

Montessori is not just a teaching method—it is an approach to life, growth, and development. For over 100 years, it has supported children around the world by honoring how they naturally learn. Dr. Maria Montessori closely observed children and discovered that they are constantly evolving, and shaping who they will become.

She believed that a thoughtfully prepared environment plays a powerful role in a child’s development—working hand in hand with their natural abilities to help them grow into confident, capable individuals.
