General Information

  • At Eastbridge Montessori, we are committed to offering the best possible home-based Montessori early childhood education, while recognizing and respecting the individuality of each child. It is our goal to provide a nurturing environment that fosters a sense of wonder, and creativity as well as a strong sense of belonging, community, and global citizenship.

    The following are the core values and philosophies of Eastbridge Montessori:

    • The purpose of education is to value and nurture a child’s intellectual, physical, emotional, moral, and spiritual needs.

    • There is more to education than just the academic curriculum itself. A child's development should include the acquisition of essential traits such as creativity, wonder, empathy, self-confidence, independence, responsibility, and leadership.

    • Every child has the inherent right to develop a creative and flexible mind to easily adapt to the needs of an ever-changing society.

    • Recognizing and respecting the individuality of every child is essential to introduce the joy of learning as this ensures building a strong foundation for future growth

    With all these at heart, we strive to carefully help children in Eastbridge Montessori Children’s Space develop their unique personalities, and bring out their own gifts, so the love of learning can stick with them throughout their lives as they eventually become mature, independent persons.

  • “The goal of education should not be to fill the children with facts but rather to cultivate their own natural desire to learn.” — Maria Montessori

    At Eastbridge Montessori, we believe that children should love everything they learn because their mental and emotional growth is linked. Therefore, the learning environment is carefully prepared in a way that responds to children's needs and growth, fostering security, self-confidence, and independence. We take great care of the environment to make sure that all the materials presented to a child are complete, clean, beautiful, and have a clear purpose, striking their imagination.

    The three-and-a-half-year age range offers a wide range of opportunities. The classroom’s younger members get the opportunity to observe and follow the older children at work. By guiding younger children, older children can also further their own understanding. In our classroom with a range of complexity and aptitude, each child can learn and develop at their own time and full potential. Also, the prepared environment ensures that children have a period of uninterrupted time for deep concentration to translate their learning into action and collaborate with their peers.

    Carefully arranged hands-on materials and resources are on the shelves around the classroom so that children can readily access them once they learn how to use each material. The materials and activities are sequential in nature and build on previous experience, children who begin the program at the age of 2.5 and continue through the end of their kindergarten year benefit the most.

  • The curriculum is designed in a holistic way and concentrates on the unique developmental needs of each individual child. Within the Montessori education framework, each learning experience for the child involves many areas of knowledge. With this principle in mind, there are five key areas of learning in our program: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Culture. Each area of study aids your child's learning and development through a set of educational materials that increase in complexity. Children progress through the Montessori Curriculum at their own pace as they integrate what they learn rather than divide them into separate subjects based on their stage of development.
