Why Choose a Montessori School?

1. Independence

The Montessori philosophy fosters independence in children at a very early age. The essence of independence is "to be able to do something for oneself.” - Dr. Maria Montessori

2. Respect

Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.

3. Peace Curriculum

Creating peace is the work of education, and children are both the hope and promise for future mankind.

4. Multi-Age Classrooms

The children should have a constant interaction. The grouping helps them to learn readily from each other, socialize, and be assertive rather than aggressive.

5. Responsibility

Montessori gives your child a strong basis in the most formative and important years for developing into a responsible, happy and fulfilled person.

6. Curiosity

Education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.

7. Freedom of choice of work

Freedom is one of the most critical issues as children begin to explore. The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences.

8. The Magic of Language, Art and Music

During the sensitive age of two and half to six, children are particularly sensitive to or attuned to the acquisition of some particular knowledge or skill such as Language, Art, and Music.

9. Cosmic Curriculum

Montessori always tries to give the child what he now longs for: the understanding of the world, how it functions and how it affects the life and behavior of humanity.

10. Staff

The teacher’s first duty is to watch over the environment, and this takes precedence over all the rest. Its influence is indirect, but unless it is well done there will be no effective and permanent results of any kind, physical, intellectual or spiritual.

At Arc-En-Ciel Daycare & Montessori school we systematically follow the Montessori philosophy, and implement innovative ideas such as a language-base curriculum to create international children who embrace Montessori as a life style, a way of living.
