Most of a child's day at a Montessori school is spent on self-chosen work. At College Center Montessori, our Montessori trained teachers present work that is appropriate for the child's learning level. The work is then displayed on shelves for children to pick up on their own. This not only enriches each child's learning but fosters the skill of making appropriate choices - a skill that will last them a lifetime.
