Maria Montessori called it a century ago and that is why so many activities are reality based to 'speak' to the child, draw their attention and optimise learning. Just another wonderful example why we the Montesori method.

An education capable of saving humanity is no small undertaking; it involves the spiritual development of man, the enhancement of his value as an individual, and the preparation of young people to understand the times in which they live. (Education and Peace) At Springbrook our strengths lie within the invocation and development of intrinsic motivation. Not only within our students, but within our faculty as well. We work to inspire, and encourage our students to make inquiries about the world around them. We still have so much to learn. From Toddlers through elementary, our work is never done! For we are educators. We are Montessorians Here are just a few beautiful moments from our classrooms in motion over these past couple of weeks
