Inspiring a Love of Learning at Montessori Schools in St. Louis
The Montessori Method is a practice and philosophy that recognizes children’s natural curiosity and desire to learn. Materials in a Montessori setting are more like tools for self-discovery and engaging with the world around them. Children will develop knowledge, skills, and friendships that will benefit them for the rest of their lives. Our childcare curriculum and activities build off of the Montessori Method’s 5 areas of learning, which include:
- Practical Life
- Sensorial
- Language
- Mathematics
- Cultural
We are passionate about teaching the Montessori Method in our classrooms, and we hope our knowledge and passion influence your children to become independent, creatively-minded individuals as they grow with us at our learning centers.
The Montessori way of grouping children is based on developmental markers — by stage, not age. This ensures that lessons engage children and encourage good self-esteem. Typically, our children enter our rooms at the following:
- Infant care – as young as 6 weeks old and up to about 8 months
- Toddler care– around 8 months of age when they show signs of becoming mobile and up to about 36 months when they have only one nap per day, no longer use bottles, and are eating table foods
- Montessori Preschool – ages 3-6
From daytime activities to music and outdoor fun, you can be sure that your child will have plenty of interactive learning and playtime with other children. Our mission is devoted to providing an atmosphere focused on learning at every age, and setting up young children to be successful in their education for years to come.
