When prospective parents who are new to Montessori come to visit our school, they often wonder why they should choose a Montessori education for their child. Montessori is education, not a nursery school or a drop in play group. The best time to start your child's education is during the early years...2 1/2 to 3 years when most of a child's intelligence and social characteristics are formed. Research has shown that 50% of the child's mental development occurs before four years of age. In a Montessori School, your child will learn to think in logical patterns and to deal with reality. Children with a Montessori background become better prepared to cope with the complex challenges of tomorrow's world.
Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the founders of Google and Jimmy Wales, co-founder of Wikipedia are all former Montessori students and very successful internet entrepreneurs. All three men credit their Montessori educations for helping them to achieve their success.
In this interview with Barbara Walters, Larry Page and Sergey Brin discuss the importance of their Montessori educations.
