Busy Bees International Preschool provides special environments for children based on the insights and experience of Dr. Maria Montessori. We believe that:

• The Montessori philosophy is more than the materials in the classroom, or the teacher giving lessons. It is an attitude towards children, a way of understanding their unique nature and allowing them to grow and develop to their fullest potential
• It is a natural desire of children to explore, discover, and learn
• A prepared classroom environment allows children to freely satisfy their desire to learn
• Freedom, when appropriately bounded by responsibility, fosters independence and social growth
• Children learn best when they are active participants in the learning process
• A multi-sensory approach to learning best accommodates the needs of all our children
• An individualized curriculum allows children to develop according to their own natural time-table and sequence
• A non-competitive classroom environment strengthens community bonds and a child's intrinsic motivation to learn
• Multi-age groupings provide opportunities for peer teaching, leadership development and natural social interactions
• Teachers act as facilitators, rather than active instructors, in the classroom
• All work is set out in such a way that children can use the materials with the minimum of adult assistance
• The children's activities in the classroom are given proper recognition: play becomes their work. Because they are treated as important individuals, the children's sense of personal value is deepened
• Learning is enjoyable, challenging, and absorbing. Children are encouraged to finish a task once started. The classroom structure itself ensures that successes are many, failures few
• At Busy bees we believe each child has a right to be loved and respected. Through the development of a positive partnership with parents and the provision of a child centred environment we believe we can achieve these rights for the children in our care
