Why Montessori

Once my daughter turned 3 years old I decided to start introducing preschool learning activities on a regular basis. I read up on all the different methods of homeschooling a preschooler. I read about Charlotte Mason, Classical, etc..but when I read about the Montessori methods, I knew this was the approach I wanted to take with teaching my child.

Dr. Maria Montessori believes that children learn and experience their world though their senses, by seeing, touching, hearing and smelling. Hands on learning is encouraged and this is why I chose a Montessori education for my daughter.
