Montessori education is based on the premise that children are created with a G-d-given, innate desire and ability to learn, and when supported by the appropriate environment they are internally guided through their developmental needs. The Montessori approach emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.
“External order creates internal order.” – Maria Montessori
