Montessori Academy of Cape Cod

Our Classroom

In the classroom, the Montessori teacher prepares an environment
which allows the children to come into contact with the qualities and
facts of the world as presented through the Montessori materials.

Our Mission

At the Academy, children work at their own pace in a
non-competitive atmosphere and are free to engage in independent
"spontaneous activity" and to experience success.

Developmental Theory

The metamorphoses of children, from birth to adulthood, occur through a series of developmental periods. The focus of Montessori education continually changes in scope and manner to meet the child's changing need and interests.

Maria Montessori

Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome College of Physicians and Surgeons, began her work with children as a physician. In later years, she became an educator and anthropologist.
