Ever wondered, &quot;What is a Montessori school?&quot; Then you've come to the right place! A Montessori school is a school that uses the Montessori educational philosophy, which is named after its founder, Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952). We are not a school but we are doing a montessori program that will teach children everyday life chores. Basically, every Montessori school student learns through interaction and direct engagement, rather than lectures, homework, and reward systems. Authentic Montessori educational practice helps children develop creativity, problem solving, critical thinking, time-management skills, [and] care of the environment and each other. It can prepare them to contribute to society and to become fulfilled persons. The basis of Montessori practice in the classroom is mixed age group (3-11 ages in one class), &quot;Robin's Nest have multi-age classrooms, mixing children of varying ages so that younger students can learn from and work together with their older peers. In turn, the older students can use their interactions with their younger peers to reinforce concepts they've already learned. Combined with Montessori practice and Meditation, Art, movement, Music, modeling, painting, plants, baking, singing, learning about the environment (fall, leaves, winter, Animals) kids engineering and mathematics.
