What is a Montessori classroom?
Maria Montessori was an Italian doctor who devoted herself
to educating the children of Rome's
ghettos. She became famous for her
visionary methods and insight into how
children learn.
![Page 9: A Little About Me I hold the AMI Primary Diploma (3-6yr.) from the Montessori Institute of San Diego, and the California Child Development Program Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c19439/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Montessori MethodThe Montessori approach is
designed to support the natural development of children in a well-prepared environment.
The centerpiece of the Montessori approach is allowing children to learn on their own while being guided by the teacher.
![Page 10: A Little About Me I hold the AMI Primary Diploma (3-6yr.) from the Montessori Institute of San Diego, and the California Child Development Program Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c19439/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Montessori MethodThe Montessori concept of education
allows the children to experience the joy of learning at an early age while preserving the spontaneity, initiative, and curiosity inherent in every child.
This concept promotes the development of independence, concentration, and self- discipline and fosters love and respect for others and the environment.
![Page 11: A Little About Me I hold the AMI Primary Diploma (3-6yr.) from the Montessori Institute of San Diego, and the California Child Development Program Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c19439/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
The Teacher’s RoleMontessori believed that “it is
necessary for the teacher to guide the child without letting him/her feel her presence too much, so that she may be always ready to supply the desired help, but may never be the obstacle between the child and his/her experience" (Montessori, 1967).
![Page 12: A Little About Me I hold the AMI Primary Diploma (3-6yr.) from the Montessori Institute of San Diego, and the California Child Development Program Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c19439/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Math in a Montessori classroom
Children are naturally attracted to the science of number. Mathematics, like language, is the product of the human intellect.
Mathematics makes use of manipulative materials to enable the child to internalize concepts of number, symbol, sequence, operations, and memorization of basic facts.
![Page 13: A Little About Me I hold the AMI Primary Diploma (3-6yr.) from the Montessori Institute of San Diego, and the California Child Development Program Director](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062422/56649f055503460f94c19439/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Language in a Montessori classroom
Through the use of a multitude of activities, a child first learns his phonetic sounds, phonetic reading and writing, irregular or sight words, phonograms and blends, which leads to fluent (total) reading. We also document journal keeping, creative writing, whole language and poetry.

Health & Wellness Policy
Birthday Celebrations: ‘walk around the sun’
We begin the celebration by a ‘birthday walk’ during which your child will walk around a candle which represents the sun. The birthday child walks in the shape of an ellipse, whilst carrying a small globe. The other children sit around the edge of the ellipse and watch.
Each complete ‘orbit’ of the ‘earth’ around the ‘sun’ represents 1 year.
During each ‘year’ we will talk about the birthday child and illustrate this with photographs of them

Birthday celebration will be always at 12:30 pm
