Montessori Community School

A preschool in Honolulu, Hawaii offers a Montessori program for children from birth through age 18. The Montessori philosophy emphasizes a child’s natural eagerness for knowledge and their ability to initiate learning in a supportive environment. Trained teachers guide children in making discoveries and encourage independence, concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning. Montessori classrooms are organized into 3-year age groupings, allowing for individualized instruction and fewer social transitions. The method is based on developmentally appropriate activities, and children learn through hands-on experiences. Montessori schools can be found worldwide, with thousands of private and public schools following Montessori principles.
