Our Philosophy

Our programs and practices are based on the philosophy and pedagogy of Maria Montessori, a pioneer educator and investigator of child development. Working early in the twentieth century, Dr. Montessori recognized the importance of each child's early experiences for the development of a healthy, responsible adult. She believed that the potential within each child must be carefully nurtured by caring adults. By working collaboratively, parents and teachers can create rich, exciting, engaging environments in which each child develop, a compassion positive self image, positive dispositions to learning, physical, social and cognitive competencies, autonomy in all areas.

Picture
Montessori’s approach to education aims to develop each child's full range of abilities and talents while simultaneously celebrating his or her uniqueness and cultural background and the ability to view experiences from different perspectives are highly valued.

LGM and LGME is affiliated with the American Montessori Society (AMS). AMS has been the mainstay for Montessori Education in the United States. AMS is responsible for ensuring the integrity of Montessori Education and for helping to incorporate the Montessori approach into the framework of American education. The American approach to Montessori education is eclectic, vital and effective for the urban child.
