Hands For Core Values

Core Values

  • We share a respect for self, others, our world and our environment.
  • We teach students independence, critical thinking, social grace and courtesy.
  • We strive to instill in our students a love of learning.
  • We teach students through hands-on, individualized experiences.
  • We believe all adults in our community are role models.
  • Montessori Method

    The Montessori method works because it is based on observing the activities of each child within a well-defined learning environment. Within the Montessori environment, children engage in activities of their choice during the work cycle. A trained adult observes and assists as appropriate. It is the child’s self-directed and purposeful activity that leads to greater independence, concentration, and rapid personal growth.

    Children are to be respected as different from adults and as individuals who are different from one another.

    Children develop through purposeful activity.

    Children have the sensitivity and the intellectual ability to learn from their environment, their peers, as well as adults.
    The whole child approach is the primary goal of a Montessori program. This is to help each child reach his or her full potential in all areas of life. Indoor and outdoor activities promote the development of special skills, emotional growth, and physical coordination, as well as cognitive preparation.
    Dr. Montessori’s observations of the kinds of experiences that children enjoy and go back to repeatedly led her to design a number of multi-sensory, sequential, and self-correcting materials that facilitate the learning of skills and lead to learning of abstract ideas.

    A Montessori prepared environment includes the outdoors, as well as the indoors, and is filled with time-tested, hands-on materials that meet specific learning needs and encourage positive brain development. Above all, the Montessori prepared environments are attractive to children and peaceful, giving children a place to learn and grow in grace and dignity.

    The Montessori Children’s House is a warm, peaceful, and welcoming Montessori pre-school and kindergarten program.There is a deep sense of respect between the teachers and the children. Through grace and courtesy exercises,we teach children how to problem solve conflicts, how to interact politely in various situations and how to be kind and helpful to their friends. The result is a cohesive community of young children. The spacious child-sized environment and multi-age Montessori classroom encourages older children of the environment to foster leadership skills. The younger children benefit by having role models in the classroom. In the Children’s House, even the most shy 5 year old is encouraged to practise a leadership role.The younger children will look up to she and ask for her help and assistance. This process in turn is the confidence builder that children need in their development.
