Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian doctor who developed this method of prepared environment teaching. The Montessori Method of teaching is recognized around the world for providing quality education for children. Dr. Montessori believed in children and created various learning aids to enable them to learn about themselves and their environment. Each classroom provides five important learning areas:
Practical Life: Development of the childs understanding of social responsibility, the value of each individual as a needed member of the community, encourages the mastery of self-care skills with the use of real life, child size materials.
Sensorial: Development of all the senses; sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell. Also gives the child opportunity for self exploration and discovery.
Language: The practice of writing skills, reading readiness with a phonics based approach, comprehension, as well as appropriate conversational skills.
Math: Concepts of mathematics are presented through the use of specialized Montessori equipment. These concepts include basic number recognition, counting, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, distinguishing fractions, and the decimal system.
Culture and Science: Development of the childs knowledge in the areas of geography, history, botany, zoology, and the scientific method.
