Children Learn Best By Doing: Montessori believed that all learning begins in the senses, and as a result, she developed materials that were colorful and enticing, meant to be touched and manipulated. Most were designed so that children could work with and master them on their own. Two typical areas in our classrooms are the Sensorial and Practical Life areas. The Sensorial area contains beautiful materials that - in order to be understood and appreciated - must be explored using the five senses. In the Practical Life area are activities that help children master a variety of important skills. It is in this area, for example, that they would learn how to use a screwdriver, button a sweater or pour a cup of juice. An array of inviting Art materials are also available to our children, as are materials for Math, Language, Science and Geography.
