LOVE OF
LEARNING
Maria Montessori's earliest observations of young children noted how much they enjoyed learning. When she reinforced this intrinsic appreciation for knowledge through her curriculum and materials, that love of learning stayed even as the children grew older. That same idea is fostered in children today at Meadow Montessori, where students truly look forward to coming to school each day.
Practical Life Skills
To adults, cleaning is work, but to a child, cleaning is a way to do what mom and dad do. Practical life skills in the Montessori classroom like sweeping, cooking, and washing dishes meet the child's interests in "being like adults".
Independence
Children are eager to have independence, so many Montessori materials are designed to be self-correcting. The child eager to learn can independently fuel their love of learning without fearing mistake or relying on the help of an adult.
