Group times are set aside as well for children to come together and share ideas and learn respect for each other through exercises and projects.
The Montessori philosophy includes promotion of hands on learning, expression of thoughts and ideas and emotions, and tolerance and patience of others. Children are encouraged to learn and develop at their own pace with cooperation and respect for others, themselves and the environment. Responsibility and leadership are encouraged through engaging opportunities, collaboration and socialization with older students and guided experiences with teacher support. The underlying principle takes into consideration that children are natural learners and should be encouraged to follow and develop their own interests. Learning is its own reward and cooperation with others leads to conflict resolution and problem solving skills that will be needed for all stages of development into adulthood.
