For more than 20 years,
Nasional Montessori has efficiently carried out its unique integrated
Montessori curriculum that naturally works with the children’s
developmental needs. Being a child-centered preschool, the emphasis is
always respect for each child’s interest and abilities. True to Dr.
Maria Montessori’s philosophy of education, Nasional Montessori aims for
the fullest possible development of the whole child, ultimately
preparing him for life’s many rich experiences.
Nasional Montessori’s approach to educating young minds emphasizes
independence. It is our goal to make the child independent and be able
to do things for himself. It is achieved by giving them opportunities.
Thus, in Nasional Montessori, we give the children opportunities to move
about, to dress by themselves, to choose what they want to do (in
matters where they are safe in doing so) and to help with adult tasks.
When the children are able to do things for themselves, there is an
increase in self-belief, self-confidence, and esteem that they may carry
on through-out their lives. When they possess this inner discipline
until their adult years, they become major players in the society where
they belong. They don’t just follow…they lead. Children are given freedom and choice. At an early age, they are guided
to choose and work on materials that will answer their needs at that
moment. They are guided to make the right choices. Moreover, teachers
feed their inquiring minds in a way that they can understand. Fulfilling
their needs is the key to help young children to develop their full
potential..
