Harborlight Montessori School
Preschool in Beverly, MA 01915
At the heart of our teaching approach is Maria Montessoris guidance to “follow the child.” This doesnt mean students are allowed free reign in a classroom, or that the curriculum, led by teachers, isnt academically rich. Instead, it means teachers encourage inquiry and exploration at all ages. They allow students the room to pursue what really sparks interest. This plays an important role in encouraging and affirming natural curiosity.
In the end, we nurture an innate love of learning, confidence within each child and the life-long skills that help children successfully manage their time and work.

A Montessori education exposes children to a highly prepared environment that fosters inner discipline and sparks innate curiosity and motivation to learn. These patterns of concentration and attention to detail, especially when established early, produce confident, competent life-long learners.
The Montessori curriculum allows children to work individually and in small groups, and progress at their own pace in a non-competitive environment. The teacher prepares the environment, directs activity, and presents stimulating lessons to the children. Within this rich environment, each child takes initiative and is driven to academic accomplishment.
Within the dynamic Montessori curriculum, lessons emphasize creative problem solving, critical thinking and creativity. Through Montessori education the child builds character, gains a sense of social and global responsibility, and develops inner discipline.
