Our Parkside Montessori Preschool is founded on the fundamental tenet that a child learns best within a social environment that supports each individual’s unique development. We believe that:
All children have absorbent minds
All children pass through sensitive periods
All children can learn
All children learn through work and play
All children want to be independent
All children pass through stages of development
Our Montessori curriculum promotes the development of social skills, emotional growth, physical coordination, as well as cognitive skills. Our holistic curriculum allows the child to experience the joy of learning while acquiring knowledge and skills. The multi-sensory and sequential Montessori materials provide for independent and self-correcting learning.
The specially trained and caring Montessori preschool teachers serve as facilitators of learning. The teacher is the designer of the environment, resource person, role model, demonstrator and observer of each child’s growth and development. Curriculum and instruction are individualized and are based on the interests, needs and developmental level of each child.
