Montessori Education

The Montessori system of education was proposed by Dr. Maria Montessori, Italy's first woman physician who also laid the ground work based on her scientific observation of a child’s learning process.

Guided by her discovery that children teach themselves, Dr. Montessori designed a "Structured Environment" in which children could choose from a number of developmentally appropriate activities.

The system embraces learning through all five senses and not just through listening, watching or reading. Children in Montessori classes learn at their own pace and get to choose their activities individuality. Learning becomes an exciting, exploratory process leading to concentration and the love for learning. Montessori focuses on and creativity while maintaining a structured environment, making the system popular all over the world including the USA.

Studies show the Montessori educated children are well prepared for later life academically, socially and emotionally. In addition to scoring well on standardized tests, Montessori children are ranked above average on such criteria as following directions, turning in work on time, listening attentively, using basic skills, showing responsibility, asking provocative questions, showing enthusiasm for learning and adapting to new situations.

WHAT PARENTS SAY

My sons have been enrolled at JMK for 6 months. Transitioning to a new school was rough on the boys but the staff at the school were so understanding and very accommodating. The teachers went above and beyond to make them feel welcome. I have seen a huge change on their communication skills and a good knowledge growth since they started at JMK. I love the amount of activities the school organizes. The teachers are fantastics! Thank you for all that you do for the kids.

Both of my children go to the Montessori school and I see a huge improvement in their academics. The whole environment is very relaxed and the children are very focused on the assignments. Before finding this school, my kids went to a more traditional preschool where the focus was to appease the children rather than teaching life skills.

We interviewed several preschools and had little hope for what this new chapter of childhood would hold. Joyous has been such a surprisingly wonderful experience. The staff have done an excellent job of helping us acclimate to being away from each other (especially Daddy). They are exceedingly accessible and communicative about my child's day. The facility is immaculate and the teachers mature and compassionate. Most importantly, my kid impressed and even misses the teachers during off days. We're very impressed.

I love this school. My son started 2 years ago when the owner just transition to joyous montessori. The teachers are amazing-they really care about their students and my son loves going to school everyday. Montessori school is definitely better than regular day care. I have visited both and I end up coming here- the staff is loving, the owner is down to earth, she is amazing! She takes care of issues and follow through until the end, I highly recommend this school
