Our younger Casa students spend a lot of time work

Our younger Casa students spend a lot of time working with materials that help them to develop their fine motor skills. Building this dexterity is critical in enabling children to learn to write and manipulate delicate materials.

Learning continues at home this week for our Eleme

Learning continues at home this week for our Elementary students. We are so impressed with how much they are helping out at home!

A Montessori education consciously designs social communities and educational experiences that cultivate the child’s sense of self-awareness and empathy. Montessori learning environments allow for the respect and celebration of individual spirit within people of all ages.

There are so many benefits to having children help out around the house. It creates a sense of ownership and belonging, respect for their environment, surroundings and their family. It helps to build character and establish a great sense of empowerment. This helps to develop their independence and confidence skills.

"When the children had completed an absorbing bit

"When the children had completed an absorbing bit of work, they appeared rested and deeply pleased. It almost seemed as if a road had opened up within their souls that led to all their latent powers, revealing the better part of themselves. They exhibited a great affability to everyone, put themselves out to help others and seemed full of good will."
-Maria Montessori
