What kind of child is right for the Spring Hill Montessori School?
Children of all personality types thrive in the Montessori setting. For sensitive children who prefer to observe at first, the materials serve to spark their curiosity to catalyze development through play. For high-energy children who need to be in constant motion, the freedom to move around the classroom at will and to choose their favorite materials help them to refine their movements and gain control over their bodies. Adult observers often comment on Montessori children as being of one type; calm and focused. What they really see are a full spectrum of children; high-energy children’s focus being harnessed to sensitive children’s curiosity engaged.
