Environment
At Tilden little house, just as all the Montessori schools, classroom is made sure to cover the following subjects: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, Cultural Studies, Geography, Science (Botany, Zoology, Physical).
The curriculum areas of a Montessori environment are interconnected and very dependent upon one another. Practical Life and Sensorial exercises form the foundation for Language and Math. Cultural, Art, and Music activities are incorporated into all areas of the classroom.
What makes Montessori so relevant today, is that it prepares children for real world experiences. The focus is not on how to memorize, recite, or even how to solve a problem, but instead how to critically think, understand, and ultimately invent new questions, for tasks yet to be determined.
Montessori education offers our children opportunities to develop their potential as they step out into the world as engaged, competent, responsible, and respectful citizens with an understanding and appreciation that learning is for life.
