Nature’s Way Montessori is dedicated to the authentic practice of the Montessori philosophy of education.
Montessori education is a multi-age, child-oriented method of education designed to assist children in their natural process of growth and development. Based on a profound respect for children, Montessori provides a structured environment for individual learning. The flexibility of self-directed work with the scientifically developed Montessori materials leads to inner discipline and provides limitless opportunities for accomplishment. Individual and collaborative work leads to independence and social development.
Great care is taken to ensure that the spaces are beautiful, simple, and inviting to the children. The children learn to work with and respect each other’s work-space, and to treat each other with courtesy.
Students at NWM also take an active role in caring for our outdoor classroom – our Children’s Garden. All of the children help prepare the beds, plant, weed, water, and harvest the garden’s bounty. The children cut and arrange flowers from the garden, and prepare and eat the vegetables that are grown. The beds of our Children’s Garden provide inspiration for countless botany lessons and hands-on experiences with the natural world.
