Pinnacle Montessori believes in equipping the class rooms heavily to the point that
every step of the way, the child encounters interesting materials to work on. We
therefore design the class rooms in such a way that they may appear crowded, but
that is the appropriate environment for the child, though adults tend to like open
and spacious rooms. The Montessori learning materials are arranged on low shelves
accessible to the children in an orderly sequence. They are carefully designed to
appeal to children at a given level of development. Each material is presented to
a child by the teacher only when the child is ready for it, as evaluated by the
teacher. These presentations are individual or, in certain occasions, in small groups.
Each child works on a selected material, which will provide a centered learning
experience to grasp a specific skill or concept until they reach a great deal of
comfort and mastery.
A child is encouraged to repeat the material until he or she has mastered the particular
skill or concept. Dr. Montessori recognized that concrete learning apparatuses make
learning much more rewarding. The Montessori learning materials are not the method
itself, but rather they are the tools that bring the method about by stimulating
the child into learning. Therefore, their importance should never be underestimated.
Pinnacle Montessori is proud to provide the best available Montessori materials.
