Montessori
Children's House
Child-centred,
not teacher-centred
Responsive
to and prepared for the needs and interests of the child, his/her
social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual development.
Focused
on respect for individual progress and development.
Free,
within limits of appropriate behaviour determined by the staff
and the children.
Stress
free where children learn to work in harmony with others.
Composed
of a mixed-age group, where older children support the younger
children.
Staffed
by responsive, conscientious, dedicated and well trained adults.
Welcoming
to participation of parents and other members of the community.
Set
in an historic horse stable with a Secret Garden in Auchenflower,
which means a field of flowers.
We
recognise that children possess an intrinsic motivation to learn
and to become independent and competent beings. This motivation
is enhanced by these modes of learning:
Learning
through the use of materials
Spontaneous
learning
Active discovery learning 'look
at the child' |
