The Children’s House is a microcosm of society for young children in which each child has autonomy to act according to their own needs and interests while participating in the greater work of a social community. The youngest child finds themselves enthralled in the work of practical life, offering abundant opportunities to not only learn practical skills such as polishing or cleaning, but continuously construct a strong sense of self, develop their own will, and care for others in their community.

Children up to around six years of age explore the world around them through their senses in partnership with their salient absorbent minds. Unique to Montessori’s method, children engage with materials aimed to develop and refine the child’s senses, ultimately bringing the child’s awareness to the wonders of their world, and to the acute perception of details that will further aid them in the self-construction of their logical and scientific minds. These scientifically-designed materials fill the environment and give clear impressions of abstract concepts and ideas, building an inimitable foundation for later academic work.

Writing, reading, and mathematics follow easily and naturally around the age of four and five through this rich preparation with unique Montessori materials and activities.

Authentic Montessori education secures and builds upon the child’s natural love for learning and aids their social, emotional, and intellectual growth.
