Dr. Maria Montessori believed that children are born with a strong desire and natural ability to learn and absorb an unlimited amount of knowledge in their first six years. The role of the teacher is to follow the child’s natural development, without imposing or suppressing educational instruction based on preconceived ideas.
As such, at Lemonts, children are placed in an environment that is specifically designed to promote their natural course of development, guided by teachers that practice the Montessori method, to help them flourish.
We use Dr. Montessori’s scientific method of education, grounded on the first three stages of pre-adult development, the first of which is The Absorbent Mind, which covers children from birth to six years old. Within this stage, she identified what she called the Sensitive Periods, where children have the ability and willingness to learning things effortlessly.
By creating an environment designed for a child’s learning journey, combined with providing the materials and direction in which to achieve the goals of that journey, every child at Lemonts is given the opportunity to become a curious, caring, and successful learner for life.
