About Me

Teaching Your Kids The Right Way One parent teacher conference after another, we were disappointed about our son's grades. The teachers were saying that it seemed like he couldn't keep up, and his classmates talked about how fun he was to sit next to in class. I could see trouble on the horizon, so I began focusing more seriously on working with him at home to teach him important principles. It was difficult at first, but after a few months, he started to pick up on things. Now I can honestly say that he is well behaved and happy, and I know that those early efforts paid off.

If you are looking for a child care center for your child, you should consider a Montessori based child care center. Montessori is different than other types of child care centers in their philosophy with learning. Montessori philosophy is the belief that a child learns at their own pace and they can choose what they want to learn with a few given options, rather than a structured way or learning where everyone is doing the same thing. Read on for what you can expect with a Montessori child care center.

Natural Materials

Montessori uses natural materials such as wood toys rather than plastic toys. The toys that are used are learning based toys that give children an opportunity to problem solve on their own without needing the teacher for help in solving the problem. Things such as blocks, cylinders, and puzzles are just a few of the objects used to teach and problem solve. 

Minimal Options

To help prevent stress and anxiety that can be caused from too many options, there are minimal options given to your child at one time. This is also a philosophy you can use at home, rather than making your child's play space loaded with toys, giving your child less will actually help promote play. When your child can actually see what there is to play with, rather than a mess of toys, or a large amount of toys in a toy chest, your child can see what is available and choose what to play with.

Learning At Their Own Pace

Not everyone learns at the same pace and not everyone is good at the exact same things. With Montessori practices, your child will be able to learn at their own pace using their own self-motivation. If your child is interested in something that another child is not, your child is able to choose what they want to do and to play with to help them learn in their own way. This practice is a way to nurture your child's own abilities and gain knowledge at their own pace. 

If you are looking for a child care center for your child, look into a Montessori-based center. It gives your child the opportunity to learn at their own pace to nurture their own abilities and can make your child more self-reliant, rather than reliant on their teacher for guidance. Montessori is a philosophy that can be used in child care, ,and at home as well.
