From the Sunflower Montessori Nursery School - Aldeburgh
Sophia, my daughter, was two when I started the school. I discovered that I needed to provide parents an alternative after researching the local childcare options.
I wanted to adopt Maria Montessori's teaching methods because they harness the child's interests to promote their growth in all areas of learning.
Since opening the school in January 1991, we have taught more than 600 kids while adhering to the Montessori philosophy.
In 2008, we received accreditation from the Montessori Schools Association and incorporated the government's Early Years Foundation Stage into our core values and philosophical framework.
We wanted a relaxed, encouraging environment for our child's first school experience, and we got exactly that with this one.
"Over the past 20 years that I have used Maria Montessori's teaching methodology and beliefs, I feel that every single one of our children responds extremely favourably to the education and is a great foundation for future success."
I have made lifelong friends and feel like my education given me a head start. I have missed The Sunflower from the day I left. I appreciate it.
The human personality's magnificence "begins at the hour of birth."
A child-centered educational strategy built on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood, the Montessori Method was created by Dr. Maria Montessori. The Dr. Montessori Method has successfully been used for more than a century in a variety of global cultures.
The youngster is seen as someone who is naturally curious about learning and is capable of taking the initiative in a supportive, thoughtfully planned learning environment. It is a method that values the development of the whole kid, including their physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth.
