In Plano, Texas, there are countless early education schools to choose from. When searching for the right preschool for your child, it can often feel overwhelming and time consuming to dive into and learn about each school. The best way to narrow your options when searching for preschools, is to know what kind of ideology you want your child to follow.
This can include a particular learning philosophy, religion, if it is private or public, and what principles the school stands by. This is particularly important for preschoolers because this will be your child’s first experience in a school setting; the first school chosen will build the foundation for their lifelong academic career.
Although parents know they want to give their child the best education, it’s not always a given answer what the best educational setting is for their child. To give your child the best education tailored to them, Montessori is the solution.
What is Montessori?
Montessori education is a child-centered educational philosophy that focuses on curating independence through a hands-on learning approach that creates natural development in all areas of the child. Montessori develops the academic, social, emotional, and physical development of the child by focusing on language, mathematics, sensorial, and practical life skills.
Montessori teachers observe children to be able to create a personalized lesson plan that reflects their strengths, and challenges their weaknesses. Each class has a curriculum, and within that curriculum, children are doing not only work given by the teacher to enhance their reading and writing skills, but they are encouraged to choose what they work on during the daily Montessori Work Cycle. The work cycle allows children to foster a sense of independence, curates curiosity, and a natural desire to want to learn when they choose the material. By choosing the material they work on, children are able to see their success. On top of this, not doing the same work as the children around, allows them to not compare their stance on the material to other classmates.
