Life is created and born each and every day.
As that life matures and grows, different milestones are achieved and occur almost daily.
A baby, when he or she is born, is innately curious about the world around him or her.
Everyday is a new and unique experience and the baby learns to interact and explore the world.
Curiosity leads to new discoveries and newly found knowledge of concepts and processes that dictate the world.
Montessori education capitalizes on the questioning and curious soul of each child.
Rather than force lessons through rote memorization or standardization, it focuses on enhancing a child's ability to question and seek answers.
A standard classroom tells a student what he or she will learn.
A Montessori classroom allows for the child to pick and choose those ideas or things that interest them.
Montessori lessons do exist, but their focus is on project based and hands on learning.
This is a very natural method of understanding concepts and ideas.
Students still learn the skills they need to succeed in the future, the method of teaching and learning are different from what many people have experienced in public education.
The world is the classroom and the answers are there to the questions all around.
A Montessori education helps a student to learn to ask the right questions and seek out answers.
Sometimes the answers are easy to find, sometimes it takes more effort.
A hunger and thirst for knowledge and understanding is kindled when a person is born, and a Montessori education continues to fuel that passion.
