About the Provider

Advertisement

We are so excited to have you join us and we welcome you to Manalapan Montessori school. We believe that nurtured children will develop best in a prepared environment, at their own pace. This idea is reflected in the Montessori Method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori who began her career in Rome in 1907 and whose methods continue to prove themselves in today's society. She was astonished to see that little ones were intensely attracted by the manipulative materials, working spontaneously and repeatedly with them in total concentration. At Little Rose Montessori School, we go about the quote “Follow the child” written by Dr. Maria Montessori. The idea that learning is best accomplished when students are motivated, interested and allowed to satisfy their own curiosity was radical 100 years ago, but today, it is the center piece of a real Montessori education. Our qualified teachers provide support, encouragement and guidance, all in an atmosphere of courtesy and grace.
