Hands-on Learning:
Dragonfly Montessori is a place where children like to learn. Children love to learn actively by creating deeper understanding through touching, seeing, and manipulating practical and beautiful learning tools. Here are some favorite quotes from Dr. Montessori “The child gives us a beautiful lesson — that in order to form and maintain our intelligence, we must use our hands.” – Maria Montessori |

Developing Independence:
Dragonfly Montessori emphasizes nurturing self-reliance and confidence through meaningful responsibilities. "Confidence grows when a child is trusted to try, even before they succeed." – Maria Montessori |

Learning Through Play
Understanding the importance of outdoor playtime, Dragonfly Montessori recess times total two hours a day. “Play organizes the mind and trains the will.” – Maria Montessori “Allowing time for play is allowing time for invention.” – Maria Montessori |

Guided Learning
At Dragonfly Montessori, the children are gently guided to begin to understand and practice new concepts fostering lifelong learning habits, self-direction, and confidence. ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’” This underscores the importance of guiding rather than controlling learning.. - Maria Montessori |

Freedom and Dicipline
Freedom within clear limits yields true discipline. When children learn to choose responsibly, they build inner order and the capacity for self-control. Our most fundamental behavioral guidelines for the children are: respect for self, respect for others, and respect for the environment. “Freedom must be balanced with responsibility if it is to educate.” – Maria Montessori |

Deep Respect for the Child
Dragonfly Montessori teachers inherently understand the profound intelligence of each child and their ability to learn interesting and delightful manner. "Respect for the child is not given when they are ‘ready’—it is the soil in which readiness grows." – Maria Montessori |

Concentration & Happiness:
You will observe at Dragonfly Montessori, little children with careful concentration, earnestly building their understanding with beautiful tools. “The first essential for the child’s development is concentration. The child who concentrates is immensely happy.” – Maria Montessori |
