Everything in the classroom is designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children. In a Montessori environment, there is no ceiling to what children can learn, and they are able to advance through the curriculum as they are ready, without being limited by the progress of their peers.
Our teachers take great care in preparing the environment so that materials are arranged sequentially, children have comfortable work space, and there is freedom of physical movement.
