What is the Silent Journey?
Imagine stepping into our classroom and embarking on a quiet exploration of the Montessori materials. The Silent Journey is designed to immerse you in the carefully prepared environment that your child interacts with daily. Here’s how this experience unfolds:
Explore the Materials: As you walk through the classroom, you’ll have the chance to engage with some of the Montessori materials firsthand. Each item is purposefully designed to support specific areas of development, from sensory exploration to mathematical concepts. This quiet exploration helps you see how these materials foster independence and a love for learning.
Understand the Workings: By observing and handling the materials, you gain a deeper appreciation for their role in our educational approach. You’ll see how the materials are not just tools but integral components of a method that encourages self-directed learning and discovery.
When is the Silent Journey?
Silent Journeys are conducted at the beginning of the academic year, usually a month or two after the kindergarten has begun and the children have had time to settle into their routines. This timing ensures that you can appreciate how the children have begun to engage with the materials.
Why It Matters:
The Silent Journey is more than just a tour; it’s a reflective experience that deepens your connection with our Montessori philosophy. By engaging with the materials in a calm and intentional way, you gain a better understanding of how our environment supports and enriches your child’s learning journey.
We invite you to join us for this meaningful experience, where you can see and feel the Montessori method in action, and appreciate the thoughtful preparation that goes into creating an environment conducive to growth and discovery.
