HOW CHILDREN LEARN
The first five years of a child’s life influence their life chances, health, and wellbeing. Every experience shapes their brain and a child’s capacity to learn, to get along with others and to respond to daily challenges. At Castalia Montessori Day Nursery and Preschool, we understand how children learn.
We believe Montessori approach enhances children's independence and self esteem through the prepared environment where children are empowered to do things for themselves.
