The main objective of Maria Montessori House
of Children is to provide a safe, nuturing
and stimulating environment where the children's
growth and happiness are encouraged and
championed.
|
|
The specific goals
for the children who attend Maria Montessori
House of Children are: |
Helping your
child develop socially: |
|
|
As children work and play together,
they develop important socialization
skills. These group oriented activities
teach children to cooperate, colloborate,
negotiate and develop and understanding
and respect for others.
|
|
Helping
your child develop his intelligence
and imagination: |
|
It
has been proven that a child learns
best by doing. Through stimulating
activities that allow him to touch,
investigate and explore, your child
will become well-rounded in sensory,
mathematics, music, art, language,
science and practical life skills.
|
|
Fostering in your
child an abiding curiosity: |
|
Children
have a natural desire to "know". By
providing your child with a variety
of opportunities, materials and acitivities,
this desire to "know" will develop
into curiosity. And, curiosity is
a prerequisite for creative learning.
|
|
Helping your child
develop a high sense of self esteem: |
|
Activities
are developed so that each new step
is built on the skill that your child
has already mastered, so failure is
eliminated from the experience. As
your child experiences success after
success, she is assured that she can
learn on her own. Her self-esteem
will develop and she'll feel confident
about her own unique abilities and
ideas.
|
|
Developing in
your child positive attitude forward
school and learning: |
|
We
believe children should have balance
of learning and fun, structure and
choice, group and individual exploration,
along with uninterrupted time to explore,
inquire and grow. Through self-directed
activities, children can work at their
own pace, repeating the activities
they enjoy. This contributes to your
child's success in school and learning
because she is enjoying what she's
doing.
|
|
Developing habits
of initiative and persistence: |
|
Because
children are given a choice of activities,
they become accustomed to choosing
thier own work. This encourage your
child to build leadership skills initiative
which inspires individual growth.
Children are taught persistence by
trial and error and by being encouraged
to complete an activity once they
begin it.
|
|
Assisting your
child in building good listening and
concentration skills: |
|
The
ability to listen to and follow instructions
foster effective learning throughout
your child's lifetime. Through these
experiences, your child will form
positive listening, attention and
concentration skills.
|
|
Initiating inner
security, self - discipline and a sense
of order: |
|
The
Montessori classroom itself is an
valuable teaching tool. The space
is simple and well-organized. This
atmosphere is arranged to provide
children with a sense of order but
still allow them the opportunity to
explore, learn and have fun.
|
|
Helping your child
develop sensory motor skills: |
|
Many
activities in the Montessori classroom
are designed to help children gain
control over their muscles and movement.
While participating in many of these
activities, your child is building
muscles in his fingers that will help
give him better control when he begins
writing.
|
|
Sharpening
your child's ability to discriminate
and judge: |
| |
Providing challenging sorting and
matching activitites, which distinguish
differences and similarities in sizes,
shapes, colours, textures, smells,
sound etc. develop and sharpen all
of your child's senses. |
|
