Is Montessori Education Effective?
August 20, 2021The Montessori Baby: What’s Old …
September 20, 2021One of the advantages of Montessori schools is early childhood education. At La Jolla Montessori School, an independent learning preschool – Kindergarten in La Jolla, toddlers start attending as early as 18 months old. First order of business? Potty learning and management!
At our toddler, primary and Kindergarten school in La Jolla, we know that formalizing the educational process early acts as a quick ignition switch towards building an understanding of self and of others; creating individualism; and allowing kids to follow their learning passions.
Job #1: No. More. Diapers. Ever.
Children absorb everything from birth. During your child’s three year tenure here, they’ll learn, use and manage a broad array of academic, social and emotional skills.
“Let’s start from the very beginning,” the song goes. So, we do.
From learning how to use the toilet by moving from diapers towards wearing underpants, your child will move forward every day. What starts as ‘five senses’ learning will progress to numbers, letters, arithmetic and a dual language immersion that will provide endless neural stimulation to keep each young mind brimming.
The La Jolla Montessori School Edge
These are the advantages of the private La Jolla Montessori School—a place where your child benefits from:
- Educated, trained and experienced teachers who’ll observe and assess your child, know their strengths and maximize them
- A low 6:1 teacher/student ratio for Toddlers and 12:1 for Primary for increased personal time
- Age-range student groupings where older and younger kids learn and learn to work together as mentors and leaders and,
- A place where they’ll feel valued, calm and safe.
By Kindergarten graduation, your child should achieve verbal fluency that is expressed in English and Spanish. La Jolla Montessori School’s three year dual language immersion program will build cultural, geographic, emotional, social, climatic, economic and product/export knowledge.
Focusing on Respect, Independence, and Self-Understanding
Montessori schools take their cues from its 110 year old methodology. The approach: following a clearly stated path towards creating and building respect, independence and self-understanding in children as young as 18 months. How? By teaching academic, social and emotional skill sets.
How This Process Works
The major benefits of the Montessori Method are based upon:
- Treating each child with dignity and positive reinforcement
- Allowing students to work at their own pace
- Giving students freedom to address their ‘passion projects’
- Learning ‘how to think,’ ’think outside the box’ and most importantly,
- Thinking about the ‘how and why’ of things rather than just the ‘what.’
Summary
La Jolla Montessori School is where your child will enjoy the advantages of Montessori schools—an independent learning center in La Jolla where lifelong learning begins and where young minds grow under the watchful eyes of caring teachers, educators and you.
