Milton Hall Montessori School

The Montessori Method is a sensible balance between freedom and structure specifically designed for the young child in a nursery or school environment. Dr Maria Montessori (1870-1952), Italy's first woman doctor, spoke of the child's mind as 'the absorbent mind', because of its great ability to learn and assimilate effortlessly and unconsciously from the world around him or her.

The Montessori Method provides a pleasant environment with carefully devised materials that meet the child's natural needs and, of course nurture his or her absorbent mind.The Montessori teaching method used in so many nursery schools is unique. It enables the child to develop self confidence, security, a sense of order and social relationships, creative intelligence and imagination. It also sharpens the ability to discriminate and make judgements.
