"The hands are the instruments of human intelligence."

- Dr. Maria Montessori

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.
