The most precious years of your child’s life are the formative years from birth to six.This is the most sensitive period, expressing amazing powers for absorbing and learning from the environment. Dr. Maria Montessori called this unusual mental power the “absorbent mind” During this period there is great need for careful planning of work and an even greater desire to learn. The Montessori classroom provides the children the tools and equipment to discover, explore and develop their senses and learn for themselves during this period of intense receptivity. The Radiant Montessori Nursery strives to nurture, harness and cherish the growth and development of your precious children into confident, independent and caring young minds.

The Montessori environment contains specially designed, manipulative "materials for development" that invite children to engage in learning activities of their own individual choice. Under the guidance of a trained teacher, children in a Montessori classroom learn by making discoveries with the materials, cultivating concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and a love of learning.

Practical life enhances the development of task organization and cognitive order through care of self, care of the environment, exercises of grace and courtesy, and coordination of physical movement

The sensorial area enables the child to order, classify, and describe sensory impressions in relation to length, width, temperature, mass, color, pitch, etc.
