Give your child the foundation to become independent, responsible, happy and successful.

Pearlily Montessori provides children with the learning environment and guidance they need to develop the right habits and attitudes to be happy and succeed. We serve children ages 3-6 through our Early Childhood Program for Preschool and Kindergarten.

What is Montessori?

The Montessori Method is an educational approach that has been used in classrooms all over the world for more than 100 years. It’s a philosophy and method of education that promotes rigorous, self-directed growth in all areas of a child’s development, with the objective of cultivating each child’s inherent desire for knowledge, understanding, and respect.

Why do so many families choose Montessori?

We educate the whole child. The holistic approach of the Montessori method focuses on the growth and development of the child socially, emotionally, physically, and academically.
Learning is personalized and tailored for the child. Lessons are individualized based on where the child is at developmentally, and according to their interests. This allows them to practice good habits and develop the right attitudes in their daily life. Teachers act as guides to students. Teachers are role models who use intentional materials in the context of a prepared environment to foster learning and autonomy, enabling the child to grow and develop with confidence at their own pace. Children lead themselves with the teacher as their guide. Teachers help children connect with their surroundings by showing and guiding them how to use resources and assess their own work. Children acquire knowledge and learn practical life activities in a rich social environment. Children are empowered through their own choices. Children exercise freedom in choosing their work, developing internal discipline and social awareness in the process. The habit of doing things independently bestows upon them pride in their work, building self-reliance and self-confidence while giving them a strong sense of community.

The Montessori Three-Period Lesson

At our recent Montessori Curriculum Seminar, parents had the rare opportunity to sit on the classroom floor and experience Montessori materials with their own hands. But how does a child move from touching and exploring a material to truly understanding it? One important answer is the Montessori Three-Period Lesson— a remarkably simple teaching technique that helps children connect experience, language, recognition, and independent recall.

How Executive Function Develops in Young Children

When a child remembers a two-step direction, waits for a turn, returns to an unfinished activity, or adjusts when plans change, something important is happening beneath the surface. They are developing executive function, the collection of skills that helps children focus, remember, regulate impulses, solve problems, and increasingly manage themselves. This article discusses how these abilities develop and why the Montessori environment gives children so many opportunities to practice them.

When Parents Become the Students

What changes when parents stop watching Montessori from the doorway and sit down on the classroom floor themselves? At our recent Montessori Curriculum Seminar, about two dozen parents became the students— working with familiar Montessori materials, seeing the lessons behind them, and gaining a deeper understanding of just how much children are learning every day.

From Joyful Activities to Skills for Life

Play and learning are often treated as opposites, but young children do not experience them that way. In this article, we explore the science of “playful learning,” why it aligns so naturally with Montessori, and how purposeful activity helps children build independence, concentration, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning.
