Why choose Montessori?
Montessori philosophy is anchored in the idea that every child has unique potential. By allowing each student to lead their own educational journey in a prepared, compassionate and safe environment, the Montessori approach kindles the love of learning and develops the whole child.
Montessori education is composed of five key areas -- practical life, language, math, sensorial and cultural studies. Montessori teachers function as guides rather than instructors. They provide tools and encouragement, but they also allow space for children to learn independently (and cooperatively) at their own pace. This environment builds self-confidence, the ability to think creatively and supports social-emotional development. When these fundamental skills are fostered early in life, children gain the capability to problem solve, persevere, and interact well with others.
Little City was designed to extend the benefits of a Montessori education outside of the classroom with a focus on instilling an early appreciation for physical movement. Our school features a 4,000 square foot activity center in support of the numerous scientific studies that have shown movement directly enhances cognitive and emotional development. We believe children should be introduced to a variety of activities in order to foster a love for moving, which will be instrumental in your child’s growth throughout life.
