Video: Community Environment

The fundamental aim of Montessori education is to help children become fully-fledged citizens of the world. How do we achieve something so monumental?

One of the active ways we do this is by creating a classroom community, a microcosm of society that utilizes multi-age groups, peer-guided learning and the understanding that everyone in the community needs to take part in its functioning by cooperating with others and participating to the best of their ability. Through working together towards common goals, we develop independent, critical thinkers who understand their role and value within the group. Check out our video:

Most often parents ask questions like “How can I get my child more interested in dressing and eating by themselves?”or “How can we make the mornings run more smoothly?” It can feel challenging when our patience is tested, but we must remember that children are learning to develop their own will and sense of obedience which is a natural process lasting until around six years of age.
