"Help Given In Order That the Human Personality Might Achieve Its Independence"
The Montessori Method is primarily an "education for life," a way of understanding the children's needs as individuals and of assisting them to develop their potential to the fullest extent of capability. It is concerned with the whole person; intellect, will emotions and by allowing children to develop freely within a prepared environment, helps them to acquire control and understanding of themselves and the world around them. Needless to say, the world around children includes other human beings and so the method encourages the ability to develop comfortable and confident relationships with other children and adults.
Specifically, the program's goals are to provide an environment that will assist children to grow as whole and integrated persons; to bring into the program a representative cross-section of the community's economic and cultural groups so as to enlarge the children's social experience; and to help parents extend the Montessori environment and attitude into the home so as to facilitate and enjoy the Montessori environment as individuals who recognize the importance making available to the community a working example of an open and liberated method of learning.
