Montessori Childrens House of Wellesley
Preschool in Wellesley, MA 02482
More than 100 years have passed since Maria Montessori first articulated her famous theories and method. Her observations, teaching materials, and pedagogy are timeless. They speak to the core nature of human development, transcending culture and history.
In that time, scientists and educators have validated and expanded upon her brilliant, groundbreaking work. The contributions of contemporary educators, neuroscientists, sociologists and other specialists, however, gives us new information, clarity and insight.
We believe its our job as educators to stay informed and incorporate newer ideas and materials when we feel they both complement and enhance the original Montessori method.

Programs are lead by Montessori certified teachers and administrators.
Classrooms are child-centered, not teacher-centered. Emphasis is on individual learning, not group learning.
Teachers play a background role: they work carefully to create a well prepared environment, facilitate access to materials, and record observations about each childs development.
Montessori schools provide children with a full range of proven, tested materials in four primary areas: language, math, practical life and sensorial development. There is also emphasis on world cultures, geography, science, nature and critical social skills.
Classroom are clean, uncluttered and well-organized. Children have easy access to materials.
Classrooms are filled with happy, kind children who are busily engaged in self-chosen activities. Classrooms are generally calm and peaceful.
