Daycare description / philosophy

Precious Beginnings is based on the educational philosophy and academic approach of Dr. Maria Montessori. Each child is recognized as an individual, with varying abilities, needs and interests. Our child-centered program satisfies and appeals to the needs of each child, rather than a static curriculum that every child must follow at the same pace. Our classrooms serve the needs of children between infant to kindergarten, allowing the flexibility to work with children at the academic level that's right for them. Children are encouraged to discover their own innate abilities and to develop a strong sense of independence. Precious Beginnings promotes collaboration, not competition, and establishes a deep sense of respect in each child not only for themselves, but for the world around them.

Thanks to the forethought of its founder, the Montessori concept is unique in its ability to meet the needs of the developing child, to stimulate the cognitive, social, emotional, physical and creative stages of development. The ultimate goal of Montessori is to yield a truly educated person, who will continue to learn long after he or she leaves the classroom. Natural curiosity and a thirst for knowledge will provide lifelong motivation to learn.

The Montessori concept encompasses both a philosophy and a method of education that will maximize the potential of your child, capitalizing on the innate desire of children to learn. The specially-developed teaching and learning tools contained in the Montessori classroom are key to the process, and ensure learning is enjoyable for children.

At Precious Beginnings the concept of teamwork and respect extend to the relationship between parents and staff. We want to ensure all our families that their children are receiving not only quality care, but a quality education. We welcome any feedback and participation and will do our best to ensure your family needs are met.

"The most important period of life is not the age of university studies, but the period from birth to age six, for that is the time when man's intelligence itself is being formed. At no other age has the child a greater need of intelligent help, and any obstacle that impedes his creative work will lessen his chance of achieving perfection." - Dr. Maria Montessori
