Our Mission & Vision
Our mission here at the Ladybird Montessori Learning Academy is to cooperate with parents and the community to gently assist children to discover their ideal self and potentials as well as to help them be prepared for next stages in life. We build our programs with two main components: play and the Montessori Method. Through the Montessori Method and philosophy, we believe that the child has an absorbent mind, which enables them to absorb an immense amount of information during their first six years. We encourage this by providing children with materials that refine their senses and develop cognitive skills such as thinking, judgment, association and comparison.
The importance of the period from birth to age three cannot be underestimated, for this is the formative period for personality, trust, thinking, problem solving and independence. Your child is born with tremendous potentials and craves to learn, explore, and try new things! The heart of our infant/toddler curriculum is building your child’s self-esteem by providing a loving and nurturing environment that encourages you child’s development.
The full day program at Ladybird Montessori Learning Academy is designed to give students a very strong foundation for future academic, social and emotional growth. It is a philosophy grounded in deep respect for the individual. We understand and respect the individual child and develop a personalized curriculum for each child based on current levels, interests and goals.
At Ladybird Montessori, the primary classroom is viewed as a three-year curriculum. During these three years, a child will progress through a series of lessons in a broad range of topics. A Montessori student is entrusted with the responsibility of choosing work that calls to him while being gently guided by a trained Montessori teacher. He or she is given lessons individually, in small and large groups. The lessons always begin with a concrete representation of abstract topics. The hands-on approach allows children to internalize very complex concepts. Through uninterrupted work time, children develop confidence, independence and a strong sense of order.
