Dr. Montessori was born August 31, 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy. This week we celebrate the woman who developed the Montessori method we embrace!
"Education should no longer be mostly imparting of knowledge, but must take a new path, seeking the release of human potentialities."
Maria Montessori, Education for a New World
HANDS ON WORK
In our Montessori classrooms, hands on is our primary goal! Dr. Montessori observed that the best way for children to learn is through their own activitiy. She developed educational materials that encourage the child's active participation. From Casita language lessons to working with shapes in the Children's House...
to exciting science lessons in Elementary and Adolescent classrooms, CMS students learn by doing, alongside their Guides and peers. It's a wonderful way to spend the day!
We're so excited to invite parents to join us for this year's Montessori Journey on September 16th from 9 to 11 am. This event is PARENTS ONLY and a great opportunity to get your own "hands-on" experience with Montessori materials in our classrooms.
On the Journey, we travel through classrooms designed for every age group that we have here at CMS, from Casita all the way up to the Adolescent community. Sign up HERE to reserve your spot!
