Each child is a personality in her or his own right and we respect it. - Maria Montessori
Every child is gifted. Early nurturing can help the child in using her/his potential to the fullest. - Maria Montessori
Every child has distinct needs and learning abilities. Our methodology is derived from these inherent needs of the children. - Maria Montessori
The primary goal is to provide a stimulating, child oriented environment that children can explore, touch, and learn without any restrictions or hindrance. An understanding parent or mentor in a Montessori Schools is a large part of this child's world.
1. Independence
The environment is prepared to enable the children to become physically independent of the mentors in the classroom. This also enables them to be more decisive and develop the ability to think independently, take decisions and decide things for themselves.
2. Indirect preparation
Although activities are prepared with their own developmental aim in mind they also prepare the children for future activities. This indirect preparation is both physical and also abstract cognition. For example several sensorial materials prepare the children before hand for them to introduced arithmetic, Language, Writing and Geometry.

3. Order
Order is something that pervades in a Montessori environment. For the small child in the Children’s House the physical order of the prepared environment is obvious but order also underlies all of the less tangible aspects of the environment e.g. The consistency of the mentors and their approach, the order of presentation etc. For the older child the social order becomes more important.
4. Choice
The environment will give the child the opportunity to choose from a range of activities that are suitable to his developmental needs.
5. Freedom
We ensure that the prepared environment is with child’s freedom–to choose, to work for as long as he wants
to, to not work, to work without being interrupted by other children or by the constraints of a timetable etc.
As long as his activity does not interfere with other children’s right and freedom to do the same.

6. Mixed Age Range
Another part of the environment is the formation of a community with at least a three year age range, This allows for children to learn from each other in a non competitive atmosphere and directly prepares the child for living in society and the world.
7. Movement
The environment will allow the child’s free movement so that they can exercise their freedom to bring themselves into contact with the things and people in their environment that are required for the development.
8. Control of Error
The environment and in particular the materials will be prepared in a manner that allows the children to become aware of their mistakes and to it correct themselves so that they realize and understand that it is all right to be wrong and that we can learn from our mistakes.

9. Materials
The materials that we choose for the environment will act as keys to the child’s development and we prepare the environment with this in mind. The Montessori materials chosen will be directed by the child’s essential developmental needs at each age range.
10. Role of the Mentor
he role of the mentor in a Montessori environment is to facilitate the child to teach themselves by following their own inner urges to explore the environment–ie. Through the Montessori materials, outdoor areas, garden, and people around–through means of conversation times, circle times, etc.
