Children's House of Galilee
Philosophy Statement
Respect for the child is at the center of all Montessori’s philosophy. Maria Montessori stressed that it is the duty of the teacher to help rather than judge and that true mental work does not exhaust but give nourishment to the soul.
The Montessori Curriculum is developmental in nature and incorporates a holistic approach to education. The physical, emotional and cognitive needs of the students are met via movement, music, art and a meaningful academic curriculum. As the student gains exposure to the prepared environment, we encourage freedom to develop interests at a self paced rate.
Individualized learning that begins with a heightened sensitivity to concrete multi-sensory experiences leads to abstract thinkers who are capable of critical analysis and effective communication skills. Our dedication is to assist in the development of creative and independent learners who are capable of demonstrating a self disciplined commitment to God, family, community and the world.
