The Montessori Environment

"A felicitous environment that guides the children and offers them the means to exercise their own faculties permits the teacher to absent herself temporarily. The creation of such an environment is already the realization of great progress."
Maria Montessori

Information

Our classroom is a spacious room with numerous windows that overlook the park. There's direct access to the backyard for the perfect integration of indoor and outdor activities. The low windows allow children to observe the landscape and experience the changing seasons, birdwatching, the elements, etc.

Inside, the materials are carefully organized in low shelves for the children to reach independently. All furniture is properly sized for small hands. There are materials for the development of gross motor skills as well as fine motor coordination.

A soft rug and a low lying mirror are the perfect spot for the young babies. Mobile children can walk, climb and ride. They are free to explore and choose from the carefully prepared activities.

Overall, the classroom is an inviting, safe, and challenging environment where children can develop their inner capacities.
