The Country Kingdom Montessori School

Montessori philosophy recognizes each child's inborn desire for self-development as the source of all learning. The environment of the classroom is designed to support children in their own process of opportunity to move from the physical world, where he can develop his motor skills and all his senses with self-teaching, self-correcting materials - into the abstract world of ideas and concepts all at his own pace. The teacher assists in the use and mastery of specially designed self-instructed materials Through experiences in a properly prepared Montessori classroom, the child acquires an increased ability to concentrate, and an attitude of self-discipline, and a sense of order. The child avoids the boredom of waiting for others to catch up, or he can repeat activities until he gains mastery, without the frustration of being pushed before he is ready. his weaknesses are not to be brought to the attention of others and therefore, are not reinforced. His own feelings of accomplishment act as his main reinforcment when he succeeds. Out of this, he learns to trust his own judgment, to consider accomplishments as the basis for success rather than to seek only external rewards such as praise.
