About Montessori

Montessori is an educational pedagogy that focuses on the individual child and his needs. The concepts behind the pedagogy were consolidated by Dr. Maria Montessori in the beginning of the 20th century. Her concepts in regards to teaching children based on their needs and personal interest lead to the Montessori educational method of today. There are four areas of learning in a Montessori 3-6 class:

Practical Life

In this section of work, the child finds materials and Exercises of his every day life from pouring water from a jug to a glass, or learning how to tie a shoelace. These activities help the child to properly take care of himself so that he may feel as though he is independent and does not have to rely on an adult for his basic needs.

Sensorial

Activities in this section allow the child to refine each of his senses. He will become a child who can appreciate color or texture differences, organize his thoughts and objects in his environment and who has a refined sense of pitch from the music he may hear around him.

Language

The child is taught language through a specific progression of lessons where he first becomes aware of the different sounds in a word. The child then learns the language phonetically until the point where he is taught the different “rules” in a given language and the exceptions to those rules he will need to know in order to spell and read fluently.

Mathematics

The child first learns to count from 1-10 through the understanding of the concept that those numbers represent a specific amount. Through each material, the child will learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division and truly understand what each one means in their deeper sense. Through this method of teaching, Montessori offers the child a strong and solid foundation in the understanding of mathematics.

Overall, what makes this method of learning so different compared to the conventional form of education we have today, is that the teacher does not stand in front of the class and teach each child the same lesson all at once. Each child is allowed to learn at his own rhythm in a way where he feels as though he is in fact not learning or being taught.

Montessori called this way of teaching “preparing the child for success”. The teacher is there to guide the child through small Exercises in which the child will succeed. Through time, the Exercises rise in difficulty but because the progression is so well thought out, the child never feels as though learning is a struggle.

Meals and Snacks

Healthy habits start early. Having children hear about nutrition and fitness in many different settings school, home and extracurricular activities - is important. Like adults, children need to practice to make "healthy ideas" become "healthy habits."We are part of the CDA Nutrition Program!

5 Stars!

Where do I begin? Lulu's Montessori is an amazing place. Unfortunately, my little guy has been in day care since he was 9 weeks old. I have had him enrolled in some of the "best" and ....most expensive daycares in San Diego, but it was not until he started at Lulu's that he actually began to love going to school.

He LOVES LOVES LOVES Miss LuLu & Miss Denise. Most days he does not even say goodbye to us when we drop him off because he is so excited to be at school and there has been more than one occasion when he actually cried hysterically when I came to pick him up....much to my dismay! He is now 15 months old. He says "thank you", he picks up his own toys, he sits still and listens to lessons, he eats his meals with no fuss, he loves to share.....in short, Miss Lulu & Miss Denise have transformed my son into an amazing little boy. Not only do Miss Lulu & Miss Denise institute learning through structured lessons, but they also genuinely love the kids! If you are looking for an exceptional school with structure, discipline and above all else....LOVE.....Lulu's is your spot!

I AM SO PLEASED AND HAPPY with Ms. Lulu's montesorri program!

She truly exemplifies the ideal teacher, and mentour you trust your children with. From her kind heart, to the dedication she puts forth with the students, and love she continues to show, I am thankful for finding her. My 2 y/o son has grown so much through the short months he has been there. I have never wanted to see my son in some strangers supervision, and for my first time experience, "it was the best experience." Thank you Miss Lulu for being kind and generous to my son and I. "I Love you Lulu," as my son said on this very day...xo

Lulu is amazing. My daughter started going at a year. It wasn't long before she came home singing songs and saying words I hadn't taught her. She acquired skills like pouring dry macaroni from one cup to another, and habits like taking her plate to the kitchen sink after she eats.

Lulu treats the children like a mother, but not a coddling one. Her expectations and her routines are age-appropriate. They do art, music and skill building every day. Lulu loves her students, and you can tell
