NLMA uses a Montessori approach to learning. We promote a child’s self-discovery in a “prepared environment.” The teacher arranges this classroom setting to facilitate learning. The children learn through active discovery in an environment carefully crafted by the teacher to maximize the learning experience.
We believe that children learn best by planning and engaging in activities of their own choosing, supported by well-informed and knowledgeable adults. We understand the importance of meeting children’s needs, and the significance of providing an active learning environment.
This type of classroom promotes greater motivation and higher achievement in both academic and social areas. The curriculum is organized to help children grow in all aspects of their lives.
The Montessori classroom combines children of different age groups. This setting encourages interaction and developmental growth.
