Modern research in the fields of neuroscience, cognitive science, child development and linguistics has strongly supported Montessori’s methods. Studies have shown that children attending Montessori preschools on average are one to two years ahead in learning to read and write and in learning math skills. The Montessori method has a 100-year history of being a successful educational program for the vast majority of children, including many who do not thrive in a traditional classroom. Many of the Founders of this school have had experience with Montessori education in the past, and the research results confirmed their personal experiences.
