Why Montessori

Children learn through their hands and by exploring their environment. They learn by asking questions and then searching out the answers. Communication, collaboration, problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity are 21st Century skills that are the hallmark of a Montessori education. At Meadowlark Montessori these skills form the backbone of our program. 

​

​The Montessori Method allows for freedom of movement and freedom of choice in work, mirroring the real world and teaching the child how to be self-directed in learning. Rote memorization and busy work are set aside in favor of the hands-on Montessori materials and activities that allow for learning to take place through exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking.
