Little Thinkers Montessori

oy from learning about oneself and others. It is a place where children are given the language and structure to foster their independence, resilience, and creativity. Here, they learn to participate in a community of self-directed learners and flexible thinkers, and use their own minds to solve problems. All of this takes place with ease because our school environment is prepared to help each child develop and grow individually at his or her own pace, in his or her own style, and as part of a learning community of children. At Little Thinkers we recognize every child’s hunger to learn. This is enhanced through the principles of Montessori by way of active participation. The teacher is there to direct the child, not to teach them; to encourage, never discourage. She offers direction to them when needed, allowing them the freedom within a safe, prepared environment to learn, develop and grow. She starts by being active by presenting activities to the child and then gradually becomes passive as the child becomes more active in their learning. At Little Thinkers we offer a structured programme in an open classroom environment, giving individualized education to each child. The school will fully satisfy the requirements of your child’s absorbent mind, his sensitive periods and his three stage learning process. The classroom is non-competitive; your child will choose his own work and will do it at his own pace. Our teaching is child led and whilst having defined structures to ensure a safe environment, the classroom will allow flexibility and will be open to encourage full development of the child. Our classrooms offer a safe, structured environment within which the child is free to do and learn at their own pace. Throughout your entire Little Thinkers Montessori experience, we are here to answer questions and provide you with the support and guidance that you may require.
