Maria Montessori stated that children have a natural tendency to learn, that stages of learning exist for which there should be corresponding education environments and appropriately trained teachers to prepare the environment. The child learns independently using the components of this environment and the teacher is the link between the child and the environment.
The learning environment cultivates individualisation, freedom of choice, concentration, independence, problem solving abilities, social interaction, disciplinary breadth and competency in basic skills.
In a true Montessori school, you will find independent children who not only do things for themselves but also think for themselves. You will find children who have learnt how to explore and solve problems for themselves.
And you will see small children helping each other and putting things away without being asked.
As children learn to read, write and count they also learn how to persevere, to accept guidance and to make choices. Through this learning process children develop a love for knowledge and discover their unique talents.
Little Tots recognises this, and guides your child with care through the crucial stages of his or her educational journey.
