First and foremost on this list: students must be capable of analytical and creative thinking and problem solving. The Montessori curriculum is designed so that children work in a prepared environment with specially designed materials that allow them to explore concepts hands on. This method has been proven to be more effective at encouraging creative thinking and problem solving over other preschool and early education programs. Another critical skill is leadership: Montessori classrooms are designed to foster leadership and teamwork. Classes consist of mixed age groups where older children model behavior, demonstrate peaceful conflict resolution, work collaboratively with and provide support for their younger peers. These are just a few of the ways in which a Montessori education starts children on the road to success at a very early age, and ensures that they graduate with real world tools necessary for success both in and out of school.</p><p>To learn more about the benefits of a Montessori education, please visit the <a href="/why-montessori" target="_blank">âWhy Montessori?â</a> section of our website.</p><p>Litchfield Montessori School is fully accredited by the <a href="https://www.caisct.org">Connecticut Association of Independent Schools</a>, and we are an <a href="https://amiusa.org">Association Montessori International/USA</a> Member School and Fully Recognized at the Primary level .
