Montessori (pronounced MON-tuh-SORE-ee) is a philosophy of education that is based on the research findings of Doctor Maria Montessori. It is founded on the observation that children have a natural love of learning that is driven by their desire to understand and explain the world around them. The purpose of Montessori education is to nurture each child's developmental needs and interests and assist them in achieving their full potential.
The Montessori classroom doesn't look or sound like a play-based classroom. Designed to encourage freedom of choice, independence and meaningful learning opportunities, students participate in a range of activities to support their development. Key differentiators of the Montessori classroom include the prepared environment, self-correcting materials, and the role of the teacher as skilled observer. Unlike play based early learning services, Montessori encourages children to learn at their own pace, follow their interests, and correct their own mistakes.
Children under the age of two have an amazing capacity to learn from the world around them. The LWM Infants Program has been specifically designed to assist young children's development needs and interests. The most important things children learn in the LWM Infant Program are coordination of movement, strong social skills, the development of their vocabulary, and introductory mathematical concepts that prepared them for the Toddler and Preschool Program.
Every child takes a different amount of time to settle into a new childcare service. Some children settle the same day, whereas others can take more than one month. For children who attend three or more days per week, it is likely that they will settle sooner than children who attend less days. Our caring Centre Managers and team of educators will work with you to make the transition as smooth as possible.
