Children learn best by doing. In Montessori, all learning is hands on and concrete. The children are given the opportunity to build their independence and be part of a community. They learn to love and respect themselves and their environment, as they take care of both. Nature's Path combines the philosophy of Montessori with the beauty of nature. The children have the opportunity to take care of animals, work with composting and use water collected from rain barrels to water the garden, all while having access to the amazing Montessori curriculum.
