The Montessori approach aims to develop the child's potential, and is
based on 'following the child'
-
recognising and responding to the child's developmental needs. Teachers have a strong belief in the
innate capacity of children to do their own learning, and independence, self-confidence,
self-discipline, and skills of
orderly work habits and concentration.
The guiding principles of MMEEC are that:
* The best time for learning is in the first six years.
* Adults should have a profound respect for each child and the awareness
that each child is individual.
* Each Child has a different learning style, different pace of moving,
thinking, growing.
* The adults in the child's environment are there to guide and stimulate,
not to teach.
* Each child has a strong urge to progress, prefect themselves and is
fascinated by all aspects of life.
* The child will choose from a prepared environment, the tools for his or
her own development, on
the activity, to repeat as often as they chooses and replace
it on the shelf ready for the next child.
* Each classroom is a mini society and each child- and adult- is a
respected member.
* Each child will develop to his or her potential in a caring,
non-competitive environment.
