Montessori is a method of education that is based on 

• Self-directed activity.
• Self-correcting materials.
• Hands-on learning.
• Collaborative play. 

In Montessori classrooms:

• Children make creative choices in their learning.
• The purposefully set-up classroom and the highly trained teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process.

The Montessori Directress is highly trained to recognize:

• When your child is ready to learn a new skill;
• To foster their instincts and abilities, and;
• To encourage the child's exploration and creativity. 

The children are encouraged to:

• Make choices on their own; and 
• Foster independence.  

The Directress is a link between the child and the environment, and the preparer of that environment towards ensuring the child's success and self-esteem.

Montessori teachers empower students by establishing trusting, respectful relationships that nurture children's responsibility and joy in their own learning.
