MONTESSORI EDUCARES
Montessori (Pronounced Mon-tuh-SORE-ee) is a comprehensive educational approach from birth to adulthood based
on the observation of children's need in a variety of cultures all around the world. Beginning her work almost
a century ago, Dr. Maria Montessori developed this educational approach based on her understanding of children's
natural learning tendencies as they unfold in "prepared environments" for multi-age groups.The Montessori environment consists of specially designed,"Materials for development" that invite children to engage in learning activities of their own individual choice.
Montessori program at VVES centers on sensory experiences, exploring logical and mathematical reasoning, language coordination and muscle development, a rich atmosphere of oral language is featured using storytelling, reading aloud and songs.The program lands on the cognitive and constructive values:
Sharpening Attitude
In the clam, ordered space of the Montessori prepared environment, children work on activities
of their own choice at their own pace. They experience a blend of freedom and self-discipline in
a place especially designed to meet their developmental needs with full understanding of MONTESSORI
CONCEPTS to be enacted by each child.
The Materials
In the Montessori classroom, learning materials are arranged invitingly on low, open shelves. There are bright arrays of solid geometric forms, knobbed puzzle maps, colored beads, various specialized rods and blocks and plentiful materials manipulative for teaching and learning purposes. Each material in a Montessori classroom isolates one quality. The Montessori lab is unique as it is occupied by the enumerable materials for the children to choose and use.
