The Montessori Values

Practical Life Avenue

This avenue promotes the development of motor skills through various activities, aimed at developing good muscular coordination, concentration and independence, as well as respect of the environment and others. It promotes refinement of both gross and fine motor skills. Practical life is the base of all Montessori avenues.

Sensorial Avenue

This avenue was created by Dr. Maria Montessori to help the child develop his/her  senses and keen sense of observation. This avenue develops children’s physical senses; taste, hearing, sight, touch and smell through various activities and materials and prepares them for challenges to come in future avenues.

Mathematics Avenue

Montessori mathematics is presented in a concrete way – through material that the child can manipulate to help the learning process. The child uses diverse symbols. The activities are designed to help the child understand basic mathematics symbols with sandpaper numbers, pairing quantities and numerals with spindle box as well as different equations (addition, subtraction, multiplication and division), the decimal system and more challenging math activities.
