MONTESSORI PROGRAM ADVANTAGES
·Self-direction with activity choices ensures that each child is interested in what they are exploring every day.
·Self-correction designed into every activity ensuring students may explore without direction and develop their own natural learning style.
·Praising the work and not the child encourages self-satisfaction in a job well done, rather than a dependence on external praise.
·Consistent and compassionate behavior modification practices encourage
self-control practices and personal accountability in even the
youngest children.
·Partnerships with area speech pathologists, Infant-toddler services, psychological testing services, and pediatricians allow for early intervention and better student outcomes.
·Many studies have shown that Montessori preschoolers have better academic outcomes compared to students in play-based or traditional preschool programs.*
