Welcome to Montessori Christian Center
of Miami Lakes
Our goal is to provide our children with the best learning experience while discovering their ability to learn and expand their knowledge in education. Why choose a Montessori Education? This system of education is both a philosophy of child growth and a rationale for guiding such growth. It is based on the child’s developmental needs for freedom within limits. The carefully prepared environment develops his intelligence as well as physical and psychological abilities. It is designed to take full advantage of the self-motivation and unique ability of young children to develop their own capabilities. The child needs adults to expose him to the possibilities of his life, but the child himself must direct his response to those possibilities.
Key Premises of Montessori Education are:
- The child is to be respected as an individual
- The child possesses unusual sensitivity and mental powers for absorbing and learning from his environment.
- The most important years of growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning is gradually brought to the conscious level.
- The child has a deep love and need for purposeful work. He works, not as an adult for profit and completion of a job, but for the sake of the activity, which accomplishes for him his most important goal: the development of himself.
The primary goal of the Montessori and traditional school is the same: to provide learning experiences for the child. The biggest differences lie in the kind of learning experiences each school provides and the methods they use to accomplish this goal. Montessori educators believe these differences are important because they help shape how a child learns, his work habits and his future attitudes toward himself and the world around him.
