Why Montessori for your child at an early age?

"The 'formative' (or critical) period of profound sensitivity to learning is from birth to six years. Using his 'absorbent mind', the young child takes in his world with great ease. The clearest example of this absorbent mind is the child's explosion into speech wihout any obvious teacher except himself.

We build upon this love and ease of learning by providing hundreds of learning materials for his eyes, hands and brain to work together as his teacher. At White Pine Montessori School our beautiful learning materials and loving teachers surround the children as they fulfill their profound need to learn." Parent Handbook -- Sharlet McClurkin
