| Montessori in Redlands provides
a unique social environment for children 18 months through
14 years of age. Children at all ages interact in mixed-age
groupings that correspond to the unique developmental planes
as identified by Maria Montessori. Each plane of development
has specific, observable characteristics. |
- The first plane of development occurs from birth to age
six. Children are sensorial explorers, studying every aspect
of their environment, their language and their culture
using all five senses.
- From ages 6 to 12, children become reasoning explorers.
They develop new powers of abstraction and imagination.
They utilize and apply knowledge to further discover and
expand their world.
- The years between 12 and 18 see children becoming humanistic
explorers, seeking to understand their place in society
and their opportunity to contribute.
- From age 18 to 24, as young adults, they become specialized
explorers preparing to take command of their own lives.
