Kids Paradise&Child Care is a charitable organisation committed to providing authentic Montessori training and school for children in a fare environment.
Montessori is a method of education which stresses a child’s natural way of learning. It was begun in the early 1900’s by Maria Montessori, who was Italy’s first woman physician. A series of experiences led her to abandon medicine to take up what she felt was her real calling in life: to change the way children were viewed and taught. In a Montessori classroom, the teacher humbly relinquishes a ce
nter stage role, preferring to guide the children in ways which will enable them to educate themselves. Modern research confirms that children learn in exactly the ways which Montessori classrooms utilize. Preschool children absorb skills and knowledge from repetitive interactions with their environment. The Montessori teacher prepares the classroom to facilitate the important development needs of the young child. She shows the child how to use the materials; then gives him/her the freedom to learn by doing - always realizing that this must be a freedom within well-defined limits if the child is to learn responsibility and respect. Our goal is to follow the Montessori philosophy to the best of our abilities. This means that we prepare the environment and help guide the child into “purposeful work”. This preparation goes on forever and is constantly changing. No Montessori teacher just learns how to do it. It is a continuing cycle of observing the child, adjusting the environment, keeping records, reading and then observing the child again. In our school, education is not something the teacher does, but is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the child – if we have done our preparation well. The child learns mainly by acting on the environment rather than by just listening to the words of the teacher. Montessori has found that individual activity is the one factor that stimulates and produces development, so most of our day is spent in independent work and lessons. Most parents report seeing much growth in all areas of their children’s development after being at our school.
