At Richmond Hill Montessori Preschool, we closely follow the Montessori method of education. The Montessori Method of education is basically a unique approach to learning; it is the fundamental belief that a child learns best within a social environment which supports and respects each individual's unique development. Rather than "teaching" the child ideas, a classroom is designed to stimulate the child's interest and help their understanding and learning capacities -- with little or no adult intervention. It uses the "whole child" approach to learning.
