“Only through freedom and environmental experience is it practically possible for human development to occur.”
Montessori Early Learning Design
Our Early Learning Studio is for young heroes ages 4-5 years old. Our well-balanced educational experience ignites curiosity, perseverance, creativity, and moral character. The Spark studio looks like happy, spirited children pushing boundaries in a safe environment designed for them. Kindness, independence, and self-regulation are of major character focus in this studio.
Our Early Learning teachers act as Guides, who understand that young learners need a certain balance of freedom and structure. Asking meaningful questions instead of always providing answers is a method that our studio is built on. We value the independent learner, and understand that education is a natural process that comes easy to children who are allowed to freely interact with their environments.
Our young Early Learning heroes will spend their mornings in the studio engaging in sensorial materials, practical life challenges, and foundational math and language activities of their choice. The environment is carefully prepared with Montessori materials for the young heroes to explore and investigate. Our afternoons are filled with hands-on projects, loose parts play, and outdoor adventures. Afternoons also include extracurricular enrichment such as creative art, nature-based learning, and music.
At Ascend, we believe that learning to learn, learning to do, and learning to be are far more important than simply learning to know.
“Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel.”
