Children between the ages of 18 months and 2.5 years are like a sponge, absorbing endless amounts of knowledge from their environment. They do this effortlessly and retain a lot of knowledge in their subconscious. Dr. Montessori identified this fertile period of cognitive development, and recognized the need for a rich, well-prepared environment just for toddlers. Absorbent Minds advances each child's growth and development through a rich well prepared environment designed just for toddlers. The classrooms are a special place for the young child to begin his/her steps towards independence and self-reliance.
(2.5 YRS TO 6 YRS)
The Montessori Casa Program at Absorbent Minds Montessori integrates Mathematics, Language, Practical Life skills, Sensorial, and Cultural activities into the daily program. In addition students engage in French, Visual Art, Music and Physical Education. Our daily schedule allocates times for uninterrupted learning – a fundamental part of the Montessori educational experience. In the Casa level, the children are given activities that are designed to have them experience abstract theories in concrete form. This is done so that as they move into higher levels of education, children are better prepared to understand abstract theories found in math and the sciences.
For over 100 years, the Montessori approach has educated generations of children all around the world. Dr. Maria Montessori, the creator of the Montessori approach to education, was a keen observer of children and how they learn. Her methods and conclusions were ahead of her time; but, within the context of today’s enlightened educational approach, they are at the cutting edge of where education is heading.
"The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the first one, the period from birth to age six. For that is the time when man's intelligence itself, his greatest implement is being formed. At no other age has the child great need of an intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen the chance he has of achieving perfection." The Absorbent Mind", Dr. Montessori
