Preschool is an important part of your child's life experience. As parents, there are so many choices when it comes to early education that it can be hard to choose the right preschool for your child. A Montessori school is one of the many options so it is important to know what Montessori is all about when it comes to choosing a preschool for your child.

The Montessori style of education came from Maria Montessori's idea that children learn at their own pace by having the freedom to choose and be independent. This philosophy focuses on the whole child, including development in all areas of life, physical, social, emotional and academic. Engaging and encouraging children to work, communicate and explore the world around them helps them find that balance.

Montessori education believes in using materials and activities that don’t differentiate between play and work. Therefore children learn joyfully from age-appropriate, hands-on materials.
