What does Montessori mean?
"Montessori" embodies an educational philosophy founded by Dr. Maria Montessori, centered around child-driven activities and interactions within carefully designed learning spaces.
How is Montessori different from daycare / preschool?
In Montessori, children use unique tools to discover and learn as they wish, whereas in standard daycare or preschool, there's often a planned curriculum with teacher-led activities.
