Maria Montessori absorbed knowledge from her surroundings and gave rise to the Montessori method of education.

07

Arts & Movement
Through the Arts programme, the children enjoy music and movement, the expression of feelings, fine and gross motor skills development. All of the furniture in the classroom is child sized to encourage the children to work freely and interact with their environment.
Dr Maria Montessori says:
“The secret of good teaching is to regard the child’s intelligence as a fertile field in which seeds may be sown, to grow under the heat of flaming imagination.”
Maria Tecla Artemisia Montessori was an Italian physician and educator best known for the philosophy of education that bears her name and her writing on scientific pedagogy.
