Discovery Montessory School

Discovery Montessori Schools are private schools offering a Montessori education to those enrolled. We aim to provide each child with an individual developmentally appropriate education program within the framework of a full Montessori curriculum and philosophy. This includes the use of manipulative materials on the floor and at the table. We work toward, and therefore the child has to be capable of, achieving independence with an inner self discipline, self motivation, love of learning, care of self, others, and the environment. The environment, rather than the child, is structured and controlled so that each child has maximum freedom at using the materials which will enhance his/her current stage of development. Montessori combines freedom and structure in a truly integrated way. Children are free to do what they want within the framework of the materials, which are themselves structured teaching tools. The materials lead the children gradually through a series of structured steps to a higher level of experiences. Dr. Maria Montessori started the quiet learning revolution. Many materials she developed can be found in the mainstream early childhood classrooms, but the philosophy and the deep respect for the integrity of the child are only found in the true Montessori early childhood classroom.
