The world is full of beautiful things waiting for our senses to be sharpened to discover them…
The harsh truth of our time is that the stimuli we receive and the conditions in which we live are not conducive to such a thing. Our five senses are constantly bombarded by foreign sounds, manufactured smells, digital colors and images, fake tastes and synthetic surfaces. The pace is always fast and the demands are high. I have to do it all, do it now and do it all at once! Time is always insufficient and the mind is always busy! Everything is done superficially, without passion, without imagination and creativity.
Peace, internal and external, is sought from everywhere. Terrorism and fear. Speed and convenience. This world needs change and change will come from education…
The Montessori philosophy and education focuses on a world of others, with balance and responsibility. It cultivates in children all those qualities that nature gives them and gives them supplies that will follow them in their adult life and will help them live happily in the world they will make.
Introduction to the world of the senses. We insist on the education of the senses so that the child can distinguish them, focus on them, understand them and enjoy them. Their discovery and deep understanding bring the person closer to understanding himself and ultimately to balance.
Concentration and critical thinking. Against the philosophy of multi-tasking, fast and half, we focus on an education that gives children time to delve into concepts, explore and work at their own pace. When a person learns from an early age to delve into something that interests them, they cultivate their creativity, self-focus and critical thinking.
Persistence and patience. Mistake and repetition become our trainers and helpers and not a reason for shame and punishment. Persistence and patience are conquered by personal initiative and love from the child himself, as a result of which they follow him forever.
Creativity and performance. By following each child’s own pace in activities that interest and please him, he becomes more creative and inventive, resulting in a maximum increase in his performance.
Communication and cooperation. Mixed classes, freedom within limits and the secure bonds we cultivate with children, lay the foundations for an education that strengthens proper communication and favors cooperation. Weapons necessary for later adulthood.
Adaptability and flexibility. The mixing of children’s ages from two and a half to six years old puts the children in the process of coexisting early with different personalities, of different ages and abilities, just as it happens outside of school. So, they learn to adapt and manage situations and emotions harmoniously and naturally.
Interculturality. We learn about other cultures, accept the different and prepare citizens of the world.
