Bumblebee Montessori and Childcare
Location: Sutton, Dublin
The aim of Montessori Education is to prepare the child for life. The teacher introduces to each child the skills and qualities necessary to live life to the full in an independent, safe, happy way. It also develops the child to their full potential. In the Montessori classroom, the child explores the world through their senses and their own activity. They develop a love of learning and enjoy working, which hopefully will stay with them throughout life. Montessori is an education for life, a learning process where children are encouraged to develop at their own pace in a safe and caring environment. Montessori is about learning to balance responsibility with freedom of choice. It offers children the opportunity to realise their potential, in a non-competitive environment and seeks to promote in them:
Self-confidence and self-esteem A sense of achievement and self-worth A sense of responsibility for themselves and their actions Independence and adaptability Co-operation with others A sense of community respect for the rights and needs of others Concentration and persistence in completing a task Initiative and self-motivation
