Montessori Education
Through her scientific research, work as a doctor, and experience in the field of education, Dr. Maria Montessori discovered that human development progresses through four different developmental stages. In our teaching, we follow these first two development phases (0-6 years and 6-12 years) to optimally support our pupils in their overall development at the precise moment that they need it.
Our Montessori education is based on the following principles:
- All children are part of a mixed-age group, in which they can develop socially, intellectually, and emotionally. We offer heterogenous groups for pupils aged 4-6, 6- 9, and 9-12 years.
- All children follow an individual development plan with specific personal goals. They choose - with guidance where necessary - activities that contribute to achieving these goals.
- We work with Montessori teaching materials and their specialised curriculum, both of which have been carefully designed and scientifically researched to suit children developmental needs.
- Our team provides the proper range of materials and activities to stimulate the overall development of each child and create an environment in which they can independently explore and grow.
At Treehouse Montessori, we place a great emphasis on the development of a broad set of personal skills, such as:
- self-confidence
- a sense of responsibility
- cooperation with others and respect for their needs
- initiative and self-motivation
- focus and persistence in completing a task
- autonomy
Montessori education has been implemented in around 20,000 schools around the world. We are (virtually) connected to a large number of Montessori schools worldwide, allowing us to share our practical experience and insights and, in turn, offer the best Montessori education to our students
