Independence
From their very first day of adopting the Montessori approach, children make real, informed and independent choices.
In 1907, Dr. Maria Montessori, a renowned scientist and physician, did something no educator had ever done before. She observed how children moved, what drew their attention, what made them light up, and from those observations, the Montessori approach to education was born. It was grounded, not in theory, but in the quiet, careful observation of real children.
Her insight was a game-changer: she noted that children are not waiting to be taught, they are already learning. The role of educators is to create the conditions that allow that learning to flourish.
That philosophy guides every decision we make at Turtle Cove.
