Larry Page and Sergey Brin, founders of the popular Internet search engine Google.com, credited their years as Montessori students as a major factor behind their success.
Scientific observation has established that education is not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon the environment. The task of the teacher becomes that of preparing a series of motives of cultural activity, spread over a specially prepared environment, and then refraining from obtrusive interference. Human teachers can only help the great work that is being done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they will be witnesses to the unfolding of the human soul and to the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of events, but will have the clarity of vision to direct and shape the future of human society. - Maria Montessori, Education for a New World
The Montessori House of Ocala has extra school features that enhances our Montessori environment. Our 3-6 year old classroom has two computers at this time. We also have daily Spanish classes for every classroom. On Friday’s we do an entire day of extra curricular activities: Art, Music, Spanish, Science, and Physical Education. We have a large front office that allows parents to feel welcomed into our environment and hopefully feel like you are sending your child to a home away from home each day. For the children’s safety, we have had a “Mag Lock” installed that keeps our office door locked, until our office person presses a remote button to allow the door to open. We also have a security alarm that lets us know when a door is opened. This will assist in insuring our children are being kept safe.
