FAQs for finding Montessori schools near you in Los Altos, CA

The way that Montessori schools differ from other educational approaches near you in Los Altos, CA is by their philosophy. Montessori schools are unique because they emphasize a student-centered learning experience that differs drastically from traditional educational approaches. Montessori education focuses on allowing students to learn in their own way, promoting self-directed learning and exploration. Montessori emphasizes the development of the individual as well as academics, focusing on building independent critical thinking skills and cultivating independence.

Choosing a Montessori school near you in Los Altos, CA for your child can be an important decision, as you want to be sure that the school environment is conducive to their needs. To ensure safety when selecting a Montessori school, research the accredited Montessori training that staff must have completed and look for reviews from other families. Learning about Montessori-specific philosophies such as respecting the needs of the whole child and individualized learning can also help you make an informed decision. Another way to determine if a Montessori school is right for you is by observing activities in the classroom, such as children working independently on tasks while maintaining order and cooperation with others.

Montessori schools provide tremendous benefits to children's development! Montessori education focuses on fostering independence, self-direction and problem-solving skills among students. Montessori classrooms are designed with developmentally appropriate activities that allow children to take ownership of their learning and investigate topics that interest them while also developing their physical and motor skill sets. Montessori teachers strive to create an atmosphere where students feel secure. The Montessori educational approach emphasizes a hands-on, cooperative environment where children can learn from one another in a non-competitive atmosphere.
