whyMontessori

"Our care of the child should be governed, not by the desire to make him learn things, but by the endeavor always to keep burning within him that light which is called intelligence."

Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952)

CALM, ORDERED, AND HUMMING WITH ACTIVITY. . .

a classroom at the Vincent S. Mastro Montessori Academy is a fascinating place. Children move freely from work area to work area, selecting materials from low shelves and taking them to a table or a mat on the floor. They work for as long as an activity holds their interest, then return materials to their proper places—all without disturbing classmates who are themselves busy, working independently and enjoying what they’re doing.
