####Montessori - where children learn through hands-on experience and investigation.

At Waikato Montessori Education Centre we offer a traditional and authentic Montessori 3-12 year learning environment.

The child's capacity to learn from birth to 6 years is like that of a sponge, soaking in knowledge from all senses.

The 3-6 year Montessori curriculum covers practical life exercises, sensorial materials, and academic materials to awaken each child's interest in reading, mathematics, science, botany, biology, geography and history. Individual work is supplemented with group singing, music, art and outdoor activities.

The programme has been designed to incorporate all aspects of a rich and traditional Montessori programme. This includes making full use of the extensive and beautiful outdoor environment.

6-12yrs Montessori Classes:

A Montessori 6-12 years programme is more than simply a continuum of the 3-6 years programme that you may have experienced.

It is an individualised educational approach, tailored to the changing needs, talents and skills of the child. The 6-12 year olds are at a state of development where exploration of the world, and wonder, are intrinsic to learning.

The stars, nature, technology and social life evoke great questions which are heeded and nurtured, allowing the child to really connect with knowledge.

The fundamentals of writing, reading and math (that were introduced in the 3-6 year programme are continued and become internalised), are the tools the child uses to undertake research, prepare projects and presentations, and go out into their environment with increasing levels of independence. 

The children become proficient communicators, take a deep interest in matters they choose, think critically and theorise on issues of the world. They are guided to challenge themselves in all areas and master concepts beyond those normally expected of children this age.

Habits of life-long learning become instilled and an entrepreneurial spirit is inspired.

The Montessori approach assumes that all are born intelligent, and simply learn in different ways, progressing at our own individual pace. This holistic approach nurtures your child's development, so a love of learning takes place naturally. Montessori encourages independence and self-discipline. 

We consciously teach the children to be kind and respectful of each other - this in turn creates a community of learners who are considerate of their peers.

We invite you to learn more about what The Waikato Montessori Education Centre can offer for your child.
