Dove Canyon Montessori programs are based on a strong foundation of early childhood education on the premise of Dr. Maria Montessori recognition that children are born with an “absorbent mind.” This gives them the natural ability to learn by spontaneously absorbing knowledge from their environment. Based on this respect and understanding of the child, she believed that education must begin at birth and that the first years are the most important. The Montessori environment encourages the child to explore to discover a world of beauty, peace, and consistency. This promotes learning and enrichment in their lives. The daily events are designed to enhance a vast array of experiences within a structured environment, which stimulates curiosity and promotes positive self-esteem and development. Dove Canyon Montessori prides itself on the interactive relationship between the teacher and your child. Our Montessori specialists are chosen for their loving, respectful attitudes towards the children as well as their extensive knowledge and background in early childhood education. The combination is used to develop individualized experiences that promote and enhance new skills for each child and encourage socialization and independence. Dove Canyon Montessori works closely with parents to identify and insure that the given potentials of each child blossoms. Daily sharing of events, smooth and happy transition times, and mutual respect of each individual child and family remain essential cornerstones of the Montessori program.
