What People Say About Us


“Learning happens through the child’s own hands-on interaction with the didactic material. Very seldom does this activity result in a paper or written component. As a parent of a primary age child, one should not expect paper to come as evidence of the child’s activity. In addition, there are times when the paper component will appear to have errors, which have not been corrected. This is typical, as often with very young children it is the process that is more important than correctness, even in math.”


- Dr. Maria Montessori
