What is Montessori?

Montessori education is a child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, focusing on hands-on, self-directed learning within a structured and supportive environment. It emphasizes independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

​

Our Montessori Philosophy

At Ladybird, we embrace the core principles of Montessori education to create a foundation for your child’s success:

1. Child-Centered Learning:
   Children are encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace, guided by their natural interests and abilities.

2. Prepared Environment:
   Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed with Montessori materials that promote exploration and discovery in areas such as math, language, sensory development, and practical life skills.

3. Independence and Responsibility:
   We empower children to make choices, solve problems, and take responsibility for their actions, fostering confidence and self-discipline.

4. Holistic Development:
   Our programs support the social, emotional, physical, and intellectual growth of each child, ensuring they develop into well-rounded individuals.

5. Respect for the Child:
   We honor each child’s individuality, creating a nurturing environment where they feel valued and respected.
