The holistic Montessori programme promotes the development of self-esteem, social skills, emotional growth and physical coordination as well as cognitive preparation. The Montessori method recognises that children learn best by doing what they have been shown how to do. This hands-on approach helps children develop both their cognitive skills and physical dexterity. It also teaches them to respect each other and cultivate positive relationships with children of different ages and cultural backgrounds. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7fb3f143a3d232294b4c7c/1604530150747-62C1X9CZI07TNZZZOAOU/LSM-58.jpg Home - A love of learning… Montessori education is often described as an ‘education for life.’ The focus is on the child, and a carefully prepared environment designed to facilitate the development of children’s independence and a sense of empowerment. The Montessori environment enables the children to learn a vast array of skills but the greatest achievement is the love of learning that equips them to become independent, capable and successful learners. https://www.littlestarmontessori.co.nz/team daily 0.75 2023-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f7fb3f143a3d232294b4c7c/1607478491405-51KVTAVA2IAM9ZESK5H4/Mum.jpg Team
