At Bates Montessori our main priority is providing a healthy happy environment for the children that attend. You can not teach the Montessori Method without proper education and training. Each class room has a well trained certified Montessori Teacher to ensure a well planned classroom environment. At Bates Montessori we believe in giving what is best for the children in every way. The teacher serves as a guide to the children helping them love to learn. Helping each child build strong self esteem, confidence and independence is a number one priority with each and every teacher in every classroom. Academics is of course important, but giving a child a strong sense of self is a priority at Bates Montessori. The very young years are the most important, and we at Bates Montessori believe in guiding each and every child as an individual, never to compare that small individual to another, and help that individual become the best he or she can be.
Quote:
Scientific observation has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening towards but by experiences upon the environment. The task of the teacher becomes that of preparing a series of motives of cultural activity, spread over a specially prepared environment, and then refraining from obtrusive interference. Human teachers can only help the great work that is being done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they will be witnesses to the unfolding of the human soul and the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of events, but will have the clarity of vision to direct and shape the future of human society.
Maria Montessori, Education for a New World
At Bates Montessori we are open from 6a.m. to 6p.m.
Bates Montessori is basically a 3 year program. Of course this is not set in stone, but giving your child the best foundation possible, would be to take them through the 3 years here at Bates Montessori. This would give them the best tools to enhance their future education. The most important years in a child's life is birth to 6.
