“The greatest gifts we can give our children are the roots of responsibility and the wings of independence.” -Marie Montessori
Montessori believed that children have a nature drive to learn and be independent. This independence occurs when the adult gives the child the freedom to explore and learn on their own, without constant parental feedback. In order to have freedom, the child must have a thoughtfully organized and prepared environment, trust, tools and be shown how to use those tools in a safe and respectful way. At Woodmont Montessori LLC we are confident your child will thrive in our beautifully self-correcting prepared in-home environment.
“To assist a child we must provide him with an environment which will enable him to develop freely.” -Marie Montessori
