Where Learning Blossoms

Our holistic daycare program merges the best of Montessori, Reggio Emilia, Project-Based Learning, and Waldorf methods, nurturing little minds through hands-on exploration, imaginative play, and meaningful projects. Click each tab to learn more.

Montessori is a method of education named after Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman in Italy to obtain the degree of Doctor of Medicine. As a result of her degree and experience, Dr. Maria Montessori looked at education from a scientific perspective. Teachers work in small groups of 2-4 children at a time. The teacher’s main responsibility is to prepare and organize appropriate learning materials to meet the needs and interests of each child in the class.

The Montessori method is based on observing the true nature of the child. It administers suitable activities focused on the vital urges of the child at each stage of development. Each stage is successfully mastered before the next is attained
Each child is valued as a unique individual. The Montessori method recognizes that children learn in different ways and accommodates all learning styles. Students are also free to learn at their own pace, each advancing through the curriculum as they are ready, guided by the teacher and an individualized learning plan
Beginning at an early age, Montessori students develop order, coordination, concentration, and independence. Classroom design, materials, and daily routines support the individual’s emerging “self-regulation”
Montessori students enjoy freedom within limits. Working within parameters set by their teachers, students are active participants in deciding what their focus of learning will be. Each child works at his/her own pace. The quick are not held back, nor are the slowed pressured to keep up. There is much opportunity for group work and the child spontaneously offers help with work they have mastered to those children who have not

Students are supported in becoming active seekers of knowledge. Teachers provide environments where students have the freedom and the tools to pursue answers to their own questions
Self-correction and self-assessment are an integral part of the Montessori classroom approach. As they mature, students learn to look critically at their work, and become adept at recognizing, correcting, and learning from their errors
The Montessori method develops the whole personality of the child, not merely his/her intellectual faculties, but also his/her power, deliberation, initiative and independent choice, with their emotional complements. By living as a member of a real social community, the child is trained in those fundamental social qualities that form the basis of good citizenship
Areas of Study: Sensorial, Practical Life, Math, Language, Geography, Biology

The Reggio Emilia educational method views young children as individuals who are curious about their world, “each child has 100 languages” and tries to develop them with innovation, art, music, dance, writing, talking, singing, and science. Children are “knowledge bearers”, so they are encouraged to share their thoughts and ideas about everything they could meet or do during the day.

The child is viewed as being an active constructor of knowledge, rather than being seen as the target of instruction. Children are seen as having an active role of an apprentice. The teacher’s main role is to work alongside the children, to provoke ideas, problem solving, and resolve conflicts.

Four major principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach:

Emergent Curriculum

A classroom’s curriculum stems from the interests of children. Curriculum topics are derived from talking with children and their families, as well as from things that are known to be interesting to children
In-Depth Projects

These projects are thorough studies of concepts and ideas based on the information gathered about a child’s interests. Projects are often introduced to children as adventures and can last anywhere from a week or two to the entire school year

Representational Development

This principal considers Howard Gardner’s concept of multiple intelligences. The Reggio Emilia approach calls for the presentation of new ideas and concepts in multiple forms, such as print, art, drama, music, puppetry, and so on
Collaboration

The idea of collaboration is seen as necessary to further a child’s cognitive development. There is a close interaction between teachers, parents, and children. Children are viewed as collaborators and work best when included in a community as opposed to working independently. Therefore, emphasis is placed on working in small groups, which is based on the idea that we form ourselves through interaction with peers, adults, and the world around us

PBL is a student-centered pedagogy that involves a dynamic classroom approach in which it is believed that students acquire a deeper knowledge through active exploration of real-world challenges and problems. Students work on a project over an extended period which engages them to solve a real-world problem or to answer complex questions. As a result, students develop deep content knowledge, as well as critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills in the context of doing a project of interest.

The PBL learning style leads to a greater depth of understanding of concepts, improved communication and interpersonal/social skills, enhanced leadership skills, increased creativity, and improved writing skills

Rudolph Steiner, the founder of Waldorf education, proposes a philosophy of child development that suggests a human is a threefold being of spirit, soul, and body whose capacities unfold in three developmental stages on the path to adulthood: early childhood, middle childhood, and adolescence.

The Waldorf curriculum is broad and comprehensive and designed to bring age-appropriate subjects that support each of these developmental phases. The early childhood curriculum, therefore, centers on experiential education, allowing children to learn by example and opportunities for imaginative play.

The overall goal of the Waldorf curriculum is to cultivate and support the child’s deep, inborn natural attitude, belief and trust in and basic reverence for the world as an interesting and good place to live in. The teacher recognizes the multi-faceted way that each child learns and strives to meet the needs of all types of learners, kinesthetic, visual and auditory.

The curriculum is enlivened and strengthened by incorporating art, music, and movement into daily practice. Waldorf education is richly steeped in the humanities, foreign languages, sciences, and the arts, and strives to create a genuine love for learning.
