The Montessori philosophy and our childcare centre and pre-school.
At our Northern Beaches childcare centre and pre-school on Sydney’s Northern Beaches we follow a fusion of different philosophies present in their learning environments and one of these philosophies is Montesorri.
These philosophies include self-help areas like the low lying sinks and fridges where children are responsible for cleaning their own dishes as well as helping themselves to fruit and vegetables in the fridge for progressive morning tea.
This gives children a sense of self agency and independence which empowers child to believe in themselves.
The Montessori approach to learning.
The Montessori Theory is an approach to learning developed by Maria Montessori where the key principles are:
- independence
- observation,
- following the child,
- prepared environment, and
- absorbent mind.
