The Montessori classroom is designed to meet the developmental needs and interests of the children. There is no limit to what children can learn, and they are able to advance through the curriculum as they are ready, without being limited by the progress of the group.

Materials common to all Montessori schools have been researched and developed during decades of classroom use. The individual teacher also brings unique materials that she/he has developed. The teacher takes great care in crafting the environment so that materials are arranged sequentially, children have a comfortable work space and there is freedom of physical movement.

"The environment itself will teach the child, if every error he makes is manifest to him, without the intervention of a parent or teacher who should remain a quiet observer of all that happens."
