The Principles of the Montessori Prepared Environment

Tuesday6^th of October

Time:19h30

As we all find ourselves in a rather unusualtime, we would like to give youa concrete taste of our Montessori environment. We warmly invite you to participate in our information evening, where together we will explore the classroom that facilitates independent learning andexploration. We observe how it offers the combination of freedom andself-discipline, together with a lot of movement and purposeful activities. All this, to “render the growing child independent of the adult”, as said Dr Maria Montessori. We shall also discuss several principles of Montessori education in order to provide a better understanding ofwhat Montessori Education is, when put into concrete practice.

How to be a Montessori Parent

Thursday 8^th of October

Time: 19h30

One says, it takes a village to raise a child, and we can certainly agree that team-work is key! As a parent, we ask ourselves many questions, such as: which choices can I offer to help my child feel empowered? How do we communicate with honesty and respect? How can we mitigate morning struggles? How to prepare the home environment to encourage my Toddlers independence and growth? We warmly invite you to our Information Evening, where these questions, and many more, will be discussed!

Come along and see, hear and experience how the Primary School Years contribute to the construction of an independent adolescent. Together, we will discuss the characteristics of the Second Plane of Development (roughly between 6 and 12 years) and how Cosmic Education helps your child to discover and understand the world around them. The Five Great Stories introduce very big concepts, and help to nourish the conscious and inquisitive mind. The child in the Second Plane of Development is creating a strong social and moral sense, where justice, fairness and equality become strong values. Join us for an exciting evening of Great Stories, in the company of many Great Minds!
