Our preschool in Castaic uses the Montessori method. The Montessori Method at our state-of-the-art preschool in Castaic was developed in the 1900´s by Dr. Maria Montessori. She based her method on the premise that each child is born with a natural curiosity for life and its surroundings, and a drive to develop himself. A child learns best by using his senses and having the freedom to explore with materials that are a part of his prepared environment.
Dr. Maria Montessori devised the “prepared environment” to allow all children to work and develop at their own speed. In order to achieve this in a positive and successful method, Dr. Montessori designed various materials for the children to use individually. All materials/jobs are carefully made to self-teach the child by having a “control of error”.
This “control of error” is what enables teachers to evaluate the child’s understanding and to correct the child without negative reinforcements but with praise and encouragement to try it again.
The goal is to motivate and stimulate a child’s natural desire to learn. For more information on Montessori in our facility, please feel free to contact us! We look forward to speaking with you!
