Montessori of Valencia is a culturally diverse community that respects and serves the needs of families by tapping into the natural curiosity of children. We aid their development in a warm and welcoming environment.
The developmental stages from birth through elementary school are incredibly dynamic and as a school we support students and their families during this period of growth and change.
Montessori is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for quality in that development. This method, named for the Italian physician Maria Montessori, stresses the importance of developing a healthy self-concept. At Montessori of Valencia, we take an authentic approach to teaching Montessori methods, while ensuring that our kids transition well into the traditional school environment.
The Montessori Method was developed in the 1900´s by Dr. Maria Montessori. She based her method on the premise that each child is born with a natural curiosity for life, its surroundings, and a drive to develop themselves. A child learns best by using their senses and having the freedom to explore materials that are a part of their prepared environment.
Dr. Maria Montessori devised the “prepared environment” to allow all children to work and develop at their own pace. In order to achieve this in a positive and successful way, Dr. Montessori designed various materials for the children to use individually. These materials are designed to be self-correcting, in other words, they give the children “control of error”. In doing so, children are able to understand, assess, and learn from mistakes, giving them the ability to correct their work without needing the teacher’s assistance.
Our goal is to motivate and stimulate a child’s natural desire to learn. For more information on Montessori within our facility, please feel free to contact us! We look forward to speaking with you!
Our teachers are carefully selected for their Montessori–based belief that children grow and learn best in a loving and nurturing environment. Our job is to encourage the child’s natural curiosity and provide ample opportunities for exploration and discovery. We help to direct the child to develop the skills needed to succeed while experiencing the thrill of independent accomplishment. Our Montessori teachers have education in early childhood development and are trained in the use of our Montessori materials.
