About the Provider

Description: Metta Montessori School follows the philosophy, methods and materials developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. The Montessori Method emphasizes the development of all facets of a child’s personality – intellectual, social, emotional, and physical. The prepared environment contains a wide variety of scientifically designed materials from which a child may choose what is appropriate for her. The Montessori teacher acts as a guide to connect the child to the environment by observing the child’s needs and presenting materials to meet that particular stage of development. The guide encourages exploration, and practice until the child reaches mastery. She gently establishes a culture of caring and support in the classroom community through the grace and courtesy lessons and role modelling. Awareness of the interconnectedness of all living things and the environment is offered to the children from the very beginning, and they are encouraged to be caretakers of the earth.

We are fully committed to the Montessori formula of the Prepared Environment, the Prepared Adult and Freedom and Responsibility.
