What is Montessori, and how is it different from daycare?
It is important to clarify that Montessori is a method of education, not a daycare. The Montessori approach is unique in that the classrooms are mixed-age, which allows students to learn from their peers, and provides the opportunity for the student to develop as compassionate leaders. Children ages 2-1/2 to 6 in the Primary Classroom are given the freedom to learn academic lessons independently with the guidance of a Classroom Guide (teacher) who focuses on each child’s learning style and readiness to learn a new skill, and presents the materials of the building curriculum in a way that is best suited for each child. You will learn more about the Montessori approach and how Providence Montessori implements Montessori methods on your visit to our school.
