Thank you for your interest in Montessori del Sol. We are pleased to provide you with the following information about our school ethos and program offerings.
Mission Statement
Our mission is to foster a strong sense of community and respect for self, others, and the environment. We are committed to providing an authentic and optimal Montessori atmosphere in order to build a solid foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Our Goal
Our goal at Montessori del Sol is to assist children in developing the skills, knowledge, and attitudes to become caring and productive members of their community. Our environment fosters children to be respectful of themselves, others, and their surroundings. We have created an enriched learning environment and employ certified Montessori teachers who are devoted to working collaboratively with parents to achieve this goal.
The Montessori Method
The Montessori philosophy and approach to educating children is a holistic method to each child’s individual development. With this in mind, we prepare an environment that fosters independence, concentration, and self-confidence. Our classrooms offer children the experience of working with specialized materials developed by Dr. Maria Montessori which encourage the overall development of the child. The children can choose materials freely, according to their abilities and interests, and as such, are provided with an individualized learning program. Therein lies the beauty and uniqueness of the Montessori method! In addition, our method allows children to learn at their own pace according to their own capabilities in a non-competitive environment. The children experience the excitement of learning through indirect means rather than being pushed academically. This helps cultivate the child’s own natural desire to learn, thus beginning the lifelong process of education.
"Our schools show that children of different ages help one another. There are many things which no teacher can convey to a child of three, but a child of five can do it with ease”
~ Maria Montessori
