The Montessori Method

Maria Montessori

Dr. Maria Montessori

At Wheatley Montessori, we follow the Montessori method, an educational philosophy founded by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s. This child-centered approach fosters independence, curiosity, and a love of learning through hands-on exploration and self-directed discovery.

Why Choose Montessori?

Unlike traditional education, Montessori classrooms focus on:
Hands-on learning & problem-solving
Nature-based and sensory-rich experiences
Self-paced, individualized instruction
Mixed-age classrooms that encourage leadership & mentorship

We believe that early education is the foundation for lifelong success, and Montessori students grow into confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.
