Welcome to Silver Leaf Montessori Preschool

Are you looking for a preschool that provides a unique and effective learning experience for your child? Look no further than Montessori!

Montessori is a revolutionary educational approach that focuses on nurturing the individual development of each child. It was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, in the early 1900s.

At its core, Montessori education emphasises independence, creativity, and critical thinking. Children are encouraged to explore their interests and learn at their own pace in a carefully prepared environment. The classrooms are designed to foster a sense of community, with mixed-age groups of children working together and supporting each other.

One of the key principles of Montessori education is that children learn best when they are actively engaged in hands-on activities. In a Montessori classroom, you won’t see a teacher standing at the front of the room lecturing while the children sit quietly at their desks. Instead, you’ll see children working with materials and tools that are specifically designed to help them learn and develop new skills.

Another important aspect of Montessori education is the emphasis on practical life skills. Children are encouraged to take care of themselves and their environment, learning how to dress themselves, prepare their own snacks, and clean up after themselves. These practical life skills help children develop independence and self-confidence, which are essential for success both in and out of the classroom.

Perhaps one of the most unique aspects of Montessori education is the focus on the whole child. Montessori educators understand that children are not just academic beings, but social, emotional, and spiritual beings as well. As such, they work to foster a sense of peace, respect, and empathy in the classroom.

If you’re looking for a preschool that values your child as an individual and fosters a love of learning, Montessori may be the perfect fit for your family. At our new Montessori preschool opening in April 2023, we’re excited to provide a nurturing environment that supports your child’s growth and development.
