Small World Montessori

At Small World we have integrated the best of two methodologies - Montessori and traditional - and have created a flexible program which is molded by each individual child. We strive to develop self-discipline and self-motivation. We advocate mutual help among children rather than competition. Most importantly, we strive to develop each child's unique abilities allowing him to gain independence and self-esteem. Our hope is that the children become secure in themselves so that they are free to learn, and learning becomes a joy. Our program is ideally three years in length. A child is enrolled between the ages of three and four and is expected to remain for the kindergarten year. Having a child attend kindergarten is desirable so that he may reap the benefits for which he has been preparing during his previous two years. It is in the third year that things come together in the child's mind and he shows his gained confidenc and security.
