This approach recognizes that children learn best when they are allowed to explore, experience, interact, feel and discover at their own pace, in a prepared calm, orderly environment that encourages independence and constant inner motivation of learning choices.

Through the Montessori method, children are given the freedom to choose their own activities, fostering a sense of autonomy and self-direction. The curriculum is designed in such individual way that it covers various aspects such as practical life skills, sensorial exploration, language development, math concepts, cultural studies, and much more.

One of the key principles of Montessori education is the focus on individualized self learning. The Montessori environment recognizes that each child is unique, with their own strengths and areas of growth. Teachers act as guides, observing and guiding each child through their learning journey, ensuring that they are challenged and supported in the right way.

Research has shown that children who have been exposed to the Montessori Method tend to develop a strong sense of self-confidence, independence, and a lifelong love for learning. The hands-on materials and engaging activities provided in the Montessori classroom stimulate their creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, and social skills.

In conclusion, Montessori education offers a comprehensive and continuous response to the vital needs of children’s development. It embraces the individuality of each child and encourages them to explore, discover, and learn in a holistic and stimulating environment.

History of Montessori

Our Mission
Mission and Core

Our Mission is to provide sustainable opportunities that follow and value the unique child’s natural engagement, evoke age-related independent learning through compelling active choices, and nurture spontaneous sensory activities that are a basic necessity to becoming a lifelong learner. In a world where education and knowledge have no end, we are committed to supporting appropriate steps of development that thrive into an equilibrium of the child’s absorbent mind. At the same time, their body continuously grows, exercises, discovers, explores, and masters complex phases, day-to-day, towards the early educational conceptions.

Scientific Pedagogy

Sensorial Education aims to harmonize a child’s abilities and intellectual competencies at an early stage of development to elevate intelligence and body dominance for a lifetime. A child-centered educational approach developed by Doctoressa Maria Montessori emphasizes children’s education as they thrive under carefully prepared conditions, in conjunction with continuous scientific-pedagogical observations supported by a prepared adult.

La Petite Enfance Montessori School (LPEMS) has arranged our brand-new open-concept environment to serve and embrace, ensuring each place and learning material presented to a child is carefully chosen, planned, and designed to provide distinctive sensory experiences essential for development. We arranged a place suitable for children in the early childhood, attending to each age-related developmental phase in its procession. Ready to promote spontaneous learning in a vital emphasized condition expected for children needs to thrive.

Daily observations of each child are expected to create unique patterns to be identified by a trained Montessori Educator. This educator, utilizing scientific observations, is capable of identifying and sensitively responding to all fundamental potentialities inspired by the pedagogical intelligence and the lasting impact in a particular stage in the child development. This intelligence proves effective in assisting each child through their five main sensitive periods: order, language, sensory, skills, movement and social skills.

THE CHILD-ABSORBENT MIND

During La Petite Enfance (a French term meaning early childhood), the child’s mind potential is UNLIMITED and ABSORBS UNCONSCIOUSLY without any effort in EVERYTHING around the environment. It grows from there, spontaneously, from birth to approximately age 3 when the absorption becomes conscious from 3 until 6 years of life. It’s an incredible responsibility for us, Montessori Educators, who understand the laws of growth and development, to properly nurture and support each child with care, love, and respect during this beautiful time of human life.

THE CHILD SELF EDUCATION

Montessori Education encourages internal self-education and independence in children who benefit from a well-prepared environment and appropriate interaction conditions. La Petite Enfance Montessori School offers a child-sized, child-led, and age-appropriate environment designed to allow every child to develop nearly anything autonomously and unhindered. For a child to self-educate, they require numerous spontaneous learning opportunities, chances to be productive, and tasks that challenge their perceptions, attracting their interest and curiosity. A constant motion is necessary to absorb, interact, and develop concentration towards perfecting cognitive and motor skills, capabilities, and coordination. This becomes a natural way to moderate an undeveloped brain during learning and development. Our open-concept environment is organized so that children can broaden their insight and observe each other, adults, and themselves, with the main objective being self-guidance, learning, moving successfully, completing transitions, manipulating, and exploring their abilities without constant interruptions. This environment soothes and naturally encourages far and near vision development, peaceful emotional characteristics, interpersonal skills, well-being, and self-confidence for life. Respect, grace, and courtesy are the central pillars of this learning process.

THE PREPARED ENVIRONMENT

Everything about Montessori education is intrinsically linked to its well-prepared environment. La Petite Enfance Montessori School emphasizes our thoughtful, up-to-date newest construction with adherence to Massachusetts’ newest Building Code, with fresh air system, Montessori Architecture Design, Lead-Free, Pest-Free, with brand-new up-to-date furniture and materials, indoor natural light, indoor natural plants, in a well prepared and safe environment that values beauty, order, and age-appropriate mixed grouping. This consistently provides developmental and learning experiences of access, choices, quality explorations, independence, discovery, and freedom. It is a daily journey of endless absorption and interaction within the environment, calling for the children to be, SOCIAL, PEACEFUL and ACTIVE simultaneously. Moreover, it necessitates our environment to evolve as the needs of all children grow, and each child is constantly developing. This is a space designed to meet individual needs and goes beyond the mere preparation of physical space. Simultaneously, each child present is encouraged to engage with a specific purpose and remain attentive to the world around them.
In a world where learning and knowledge are endless, we are committed in support appropriate phases of child development that flowering in a balanced way in the absorbent mind of a child. At the same time, their body continually grows, exercises, discovers, explores and masters complex phases, on a daily basis, towards the first educational conceptions.
