In a Montessori environment, interest plays a crucial role in fostering a child’s natural curiosity, motivation, and love of learning.
In the spirit of the fall season, the Toddlers are learning about pumpkins! Children enjoy learning about the parts of the pumpkin and then smelling and feeling the pumpkin. This work helps to develop a child’s fine motor skills, eye-hand coordination, and language. They learned about how pumpkins grow from seeds, they took a look inside the pumpkin, touched the seeds, and felt the pulp.
The classrooms have many Fall themed works for the children to discover.
These experiences are typical of a Princeton Montessori School classroom, which strives to ignite the passion in each child and deliver a holistic, sensorial, and engaging learning experience.
