Why Choose Montessori: A Parent’s Perspective

sitelock • May 2, 2016

Many observers fall in love with Montessori as they watch a classroom in action. The children move independently throughout the classroom, work collaboratively with others, and more importantly, are in charge of themselves. Montessori guides understand that children are innately interested in learning and through that curiosity develop themselves. Our role is design an educational environment that enables children to develop the fundamental capabilities needed to become happy, successful adults. This AMS video features parents explaining in their own words what makes Montessori education special and how it will make any amazing difference in your child’s life.   https://vimeo.com/86032465
