Northstar Montessori Preschool

Children and big trucks just seem to go hand in hand! Large vehicles are a source of different sights, sounds, and motions that activate a developing child’s senses. Roaring engines, flashing lights, and big movements, like a garbage truck emptying bins or an excavator digging, stimulate auditory and visual processing. 🚛🚚🚒

The Iceberg of Montessori Child Many people see the child who is confident, independent, focused, and capable. What they often do not see is everything beneath the surface. The patience to repeat a task hundreds of times. The freedom to make mistakes and learn from them. The security of being trusted. The concentration protected by the adults around them. The carefully prepared environment. The respectful relationships that nurture growth. Just like an iceberg, the visible achievements of a Montessori child are only a small part of the story. The deepest growth happens quietly, day after day, through meaningful work, purposeful experiences, and the guidance of prepared adults. When we focus only on the outcomes, we miss the beauty of the process. Because in Montessori, growth does not come from being told, corrected, or instructed. Growth comes from doing. “Growth comes from activity, not from intellectual understanding.” — Maria Montessori The child we see today is the visible tip of a much deeper journey taking place beneath the surface. . #missrosamontessori
