Why Montessori?

Once a child enters her elementary years, she has both a desire and a capability to question, explore, and organize knowledge related to life's deeper workings. Providing a cultural context, the Cosmic Education gives students an opportunity to scientifically experiment and earnestly understand their own moral placement in the universe, which is vital to children's development and also to the sustainability of future generations. 

With the right tools to continue building a harmonious existence, children become better equipped to respect every aspect of their world. A Montessori curriculum utilizes many outlets that work to expose important qualities that compose the entire child, including the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, and an important fifth component, the spiritual. This focus on the whole child works towards an important goal: the betterment of humankind's future. 

Typically associated with and expected of older children, setting up an eating area, cleaning up after, and even aiding in food preparation are all feasible for toddler-aged children. Not only does the Montessori curriculum help to develop these skills in school, these activities and expectations can be applied at home!
