Zoescope and Montessori

An excerpted quote from a Montessori Resource ... Now this is what Zoescope is all about!

_quote

Education is often narrowly defined as the teaching of math, language, sciences and the arts, ...
BUT the most important subjects to be mastered are:

* how to be happy,
* how to be a good friend, and to express care through thoughtfulness and good manners,
* how to identify a problem and work hard to solve it


More than facts, we must help our children develop

* a love of learning,
* the ability to make intelligent and responsible choices,
* to concentrate and focus, and
* to do one's best to complete a task to the satisfaction of oneself rather than to please someone else.

_end_quote

Montessori Philosophy, AGE 3-12+ YEARS
PARENTING — TEACHING
