Last week we celebrated Maria Montessori’s birthday! 🎉

To celebrate, our LittleHillers had a class discussion about her. Maria Montessori believed that children’s natural curiosity enabled them to learn at their own pace and independently. That is why our curriculum encourages hands-on learning and independence!🌱✨

Warmer days are finally around the corner!
Spring is here, and with it comes new beginnings, blooming flowers, and the joy of learning in nature!

Wishing you all a Happy Spring Day! 🌼

We asked the team at LittleHill Montessori some fun questions, and the answers are in! 🤩

Curious about what makes our team special?

It is so important for children to learn practical life skills. Activities such as gardening, preparing food, and sorting foster your child’s independence and improve their motor control and coordination!😌

Our LittleHillers often work and learn practical skills in our school gardens. If you were looking for something exciting and educational to do with your child- enjoy a fun day of planting seeds while reciting this cute short poem!🌻

What seeds will you be planting with your child?🌱

We’re educating our LittleHillers about our environment.🌍
Today they learned all about minerals, rocks, and gemstones.
Children need to learn about their environment to understand the importance of sustainability and to appreciate the world around them!🌱

Wishing all women a Happy Women’s Day!💐
In the words of Ntozake Shange, “ Where there is a woman there is magic”. Share with us what is the most valuable thing you’ve learned from another woman?😌

Our LittleHillers enjoy sensory activities that aim to develop their senses.
This plays a vital role in understanding the world around them!😁

Every child is special in their own way- even in how they learn.🎓

Does your child learn by seeing?
How about listening?
Does your child prefer to take a hands-on approach?
Or do they learn through reading and writing?

Tell us what your child’s style of learning is.🤓

Our LittleHillers showed off their singing and dancing skills during our incredible LittleHill concert 🌟🌈 Here’s a quick recap:

📚🍎 Let's bust a Montessori myth! 🌟

Common Misconception: "There are no rules in a Montessori classroom." 🚫

The truth is, Montessori education values structure and order just as much as it values freedom and creativity. There are, in fact, plenty of guidelines and expectations in a Montessori environment. These rules, however, are designed to cultivate a sense of responsibility, independence, and respect for both the environment and peers.

The Montessori classroom is about where rules are not about control, but about fostering a sense of community and cooperation. 🌱✨
