"The development of the child during the first three years after birth is unequaled by intensity and importance by any other period that precedes or follows in the whole life of the child. If we consider the transformations, adaptations, achievements, and conquest of the environment during the first period of life from zero to three years, it is functionally a longer period than all the following periods put together from three years until death. For this reason, these three years may be considered to be as long as a whole life." ~Maria Montessori.
Within a Montessori environment, the child feels empowered
to develop. The materials within the classroom are chosen specifically for the age of the child. Self-contained "work" is placed on a low shelf, so that the child can easily utilize them. A small rug is provided to define a child's personal space; one in which they can feel independence of others in their selection of materials. All aspects of the environment are inspected to insure safety & security of a child being able to fully explore at their own developmental level. |

The Woodcreek Montessori School is
based on the philosophies of Maria Montessori. |
|
|
 |
The Montessori Method focuses on allowing a child to learn in a hands-on environment, that is custom-made to
each child's individual educational needs. The children work with materials that are self-contained and placed on shelves for easy
accessibility. Every month we focus on several different educational
themes to enhance the learning process, so that the children are exposed
to as many concepts as possible. |
|
|
Children work in the areas of Sensorial, Practical Life,
& Language; with highlights in Math, Science, Board Books, & Object
Permanence. Our classroom is split into two distinct areas, Older
Infants/Young Toddlers and
Older Toddlers/Preschool so that both age groups can work on activities that are
age-appropriate to their different educational needs. |
|
|
Our home-based school is enrolled in
Roseville's Green Energy Program and the
PG&E Climate Smart Program to show our
support for using renewable green energy such as wind and solar power. |
|
|
Parents are able to enjoy the comfort of a safe in-home
program, with a separate classroom in a small group setting. Our overall
group size is small compared with most Childcare Centers. |
