We are all a single organism, one nation...Our principal concern must be to educate humanity" Maria #Montessori, Education and Peace

Science in Montessori is known for introducing children to advanced topics in the early years, preparing them for a lifetime of discovery. Topics range from how the world began to the basic principles of astronomy, botany, chemistry, physics, and zoology. "We especially need imagination in science. It is not all mathematics, nor all logic, but it is somewhat beauty and poetry." Maria Montessori, The Montessori Method

Maria Montessori referred to the classroom as a prepared environment. Teachers spend many hours setting up their classroom and continue throughout the school year to evaluate the classroom environment. The Montessori approach includes classrooms that allow for independence, movement, children learning at their own pace, intellectual and social development, self-correction, peer teaching, exploration, self-discipline and freedom. When creating the prepared environment the... following six components are considered and we will focus on these through out the year: 1) Freedom 2)Structure of Order 3)Reality Of Nature 4)Beauty and Atmosphere 5)Social Development 6)Intellectual and Physical Development. #mariamontessoriphilososphy #welovemariamontessori #practicallifeactivity #scienceandcultural #montessorichildrenshouse #math #language #sensorialactivities

This is how we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Maria Montessori at our Montessori. Thank you doctor for inspiring us! Video for the birthday walk is in the comment section 150 years...a great woman, scientist and educator was born...we prepare to celebrate...a sesquicentennial...a remembrance...an appreciation...a commitment to the work of the child.... "I do not doubt that philosophy and religion can bring to the task an immense contribution, but how numerous are the philosophers in this ultra-civilized world! How many have there not been in the past, and how many more will there not be in the future? Noble ideals and high standards we have always had. They form a great part of what we teach. Yet warfare and strife show no signs of abating. And if education is always to be conceived along the same antiquated lines of a mere transmission of knowledge, there is little to be hoped from it in the bettering of man's future. For what is the use of transmitting knowledge if the individual's total development lags behind? Instead, we must take into account a psychic entity, a social personality, a new world force, innumerable in the totality of its membership, which is at present hidden and ignored. If help and salvation are to come, they can only come from the children, for the children are the makers of men." Absorbent mind- Maria Montessori. #mariamontessoriphilososphy #happybirthdaytoyou #welovemariamontessori #celebrationoflife

To mark 150 years since the birth of Maria Montessori, we have collaborated with BrightVibes who have made this wonderful film about Maria Montessori and her in...spirational life. We would like to thank Carolina Montessori for giving her time to talk about her great grandmother. #Montessori150

Happy Birthday Dr.Maria Montessori! Thank you

Before three, the functions are being created; after three, they develop. Maria Montessori, The Absorbent Mind This unconscious mind is built first through the childs interactions with his or her environment. From birth to 3, the child unconsciously acquires knowledge through interacting with his environment. This knowledge continues to build and as the child grows. Between 3 to 6 years, the conscious slowly takes over establishing memory, the power to understand, and the ...ability to reason. We call this process the absorbent mind, because the child essentially absorbs information about his or her environment unconsciously from birth to three and between three to six the child makes sense and gives meaning to their learning while continuing to acquire more. These two periods, birth to 3 and 3 to 6, are called sensitive periods. #montessorichildrenshouse #cosmiceducation #alwayslearning #absorbentminds #mariamontessoriphilososphy #sensitiveperiods

Dr. Maria Montessori considered the outdoor environment an extension of the indoor classroom. According to her philosophy, the natural world provided endless possibilities for experiential learning. Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur, she wrote in The Absorbent Mind. When the child goes out, it is the world itself that offers itself to him. Let us take the child out to show him real things. Dr. Montes...sori stressed the interconnectedness between humanity and nature. The land is where our roots are, she wrote. The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth. #montessorilearning #cosmiceducation #absorbentminds #alwayslearning #montessorichildrenshouse

Photo of Maria Montessori in the post is from 1913, Dr. Montessori examines the first copies of a new edition of her book 'The Montessori Method'. 'I repeat and I insist: I did not wish to originate a method of education, nor am I the author of a method of education...This is not a method of education like other methods, but it is the beginning of something which must grow and which is in no way bound to any personality that may appear as the author, but it is solely allied to human beings who develop in freedom. It is a history of liberty and not the recital of any individual's thoughts' (Montessori, 2013, p.10) Copied from Montistory.

We didnt wanted to deprive our little ones from what they deserve and something that will leave a mark on them for the rest of their lives. We held a graduation ceremony at our parking lot for our Senior Casa students. Thank you parents for supporting us and helping us make it happen. It was impossible without your support. ... It is love that transforms the social duty of a teacher into the higher consciousness of a mission- Maria Montessori #montessorichildrenshouse #graduation #happychildren #happyus #Thankyou

Montessori is a bloom with life and flowers The children must be taught to feel and live in harmony with the Earth. In her explanation of cosmic education, Montessori emphasizes that the child should understand that they are part of a greater universe. By going outside and learning from nature firsthand, this profound understanding can be achieved. Look at these inquisitive minds exploring nature and discovering beautiful caterpillars and ladybugs. Isnt the caterpillar g...orgeous #montessorichildrenshouse #mariamontessoriphilososphy #learningisfun #alwayslearning #education

This is the Birthday walk we do for celebrating life!

The Birthday Walk gives students an opportunity to acknowledge and celebrate the life and growth of their classmate, in a positive, collaborative way. Every child wants to know how cherished they are, and how our life and world is better because they were born into our family or now belong to our class. The Montessori Celebration of Life is the perfect way to do this. We use some form of a sun, the months, and a globe to help show the passage of time and the growth of the ch...ild from birth to this birthday celebration. This way they know about the months and passage of time. We do Learning in everything because we are Montessori! #montessorichildrenshouse #wecareforyou #mariamontessoriphilososphy #learningisfun

Through the task, the children at Montessori build perseverance. By teaching your child persistence, they are learning to not give up. We practise the same at the Montessori children's house through our teachers who observe and guide a child's actions if they are stuck on a particular task. However, the end result is of the child's own effort. Children are also exposed to the outdoors and are taught how to take care of plants.... #montessori #education #children #mariamontessoriphilososphy # #independence #nature

We at Montessori Childrens House believe in giving freedom to our children. In consequence, by allowing freedom of movement, children learn to explore their environment; and therefore discover their interests. #montessorichildrenshouse #toddlerroom #allaboutfrogs

Specially trained Montessori teachers guide, coach and facilitate each child's learning through continuous observation and assessment. At Montessori Childrens House we have well trained and qualified Montessori staff. The work in a Montessori school is child-directed. A teacher gives a child a lesson on a material he hasnt used before, but the child can then independently choose to work on it when he pleases. #montessorichildrenshouse #covidpolicies #frenchlessons #WeCareForYou #mariamontessori

Our earth should be protected so its precious resources can be available to us for many years to come. It is never too early to start teaching children the importance of keeping our planet clean and learning how to reduce, reuse, and recycle.

This is the basis teaching of a Montessori Education Care of environment exercises foster love for the environment, help children connect and engage with nature, and encourage the child to interact with the environment, exhibiting respect and love.
