Auburn's House Montessori School Daycare

The Montessori learning environment is much different than the traditional model. Instead of information passing from the teacher to the student, the teacher is skilled in putting the child in touch with the environment and helping him learn to make intelligent choices and to carry out research in a prepared environment. The teacher then protects the student’s concentration from interruption. This fosters a love of lifetime learning for each child. Practical Life provides the foundation for all other activities in the classroom, these activities such as pouring and scrubbing, sewing and gardening, or practicing grace and courtesy, gives the child confidence and mastery of the environment. Specifically, these activities contribute to the control and coordination of movement, development of concentration, and gives the child self-esteem.
