The Montessori Method was developed in the 1900s by Maria Montessori. In Italy, Dr. Montessori's orientation was that of a scientist, mathematician and physician rather than a traditional educator. She based her method on the premise that each child is born with a drive to develop himself. A child learns best from his physical activity and senses if given freedom to discover, explore, create in an enriched environment with supportive encouragement.
A common misconception holds these materials to be teaching aids, tools that will help teachers convey information the adult believes the child must learn. The Montessori materials have a far greater function and scope. The knowledge children can acquire if they are free to follow their inner interests is unlimited, therefore the unique Montessori Materials are self-directed. This activates in children a desire to learn more, because it engages the child both physically and mentally. Each Material develops only one perception at a time. Every Material has a controlled-error component, which places the responsibility for finding answers on the child, rather than creating a dependency on the teacher. Montessori materials educate the child's senses, which makes him/her alert in adapting the knowledge received in school to the outside world.
Christian Montessori Schools have no affiliation with any church or denomination. Christian Montessori creates an emotionally safe environment where children from all different religious backgrounds can find unity and common ground in accepting one another with their different faiths.
A weekly Bible study, including teachings and music, is incorporated into the program for those children who wish to take part. Christian Montessori chose the word Christian in order to set us apart from other Montessori schools and to acknowledge that our children are free to express and discuss their thoughts about God. Moral teachings have shown to render a child more empathetic, insightful, and tolerant of himself/herself and others.
