Park Forest Montessori School

The Park Forest Montessori School enhances the child's sensitive years and provides an enriching environment in which information can be absorbed. The child starts with the simplest exercises in practical life and sensory apparatus to help develop the concentration, coordination and working habits necessary for the more advanced language and math work. Repetition is necessary as concentration develops and often a child may repeat the same activity many times.

The teacher demonstrates the correct use of the Montessori materials as they are individually chosen by the children. She carefully observes the progress of each child and watches for periods of readiness. It is important that the child feels successful at every step. Mistakes are often overlooked until the teacher feels she can correct the child in a friendly, accepting manner. Most of the materials are self-correcting and practice brings perfection in academic work.

“To aid in life, leaving it free, however,
to unfold itself, that is the basic task
of the educator.”
