What is the Montessori Method at CHM?

At Cherry Hill Montessori, we follow the time-tested Montessori Method — an educational approach that nurtures the whole child: academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

The Montessori Method

Developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, this method is rooted in respect for each child’s unique potential and promotes independence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Education for the Whole Child

The Montessori Method is about more than academic readiness. It supports the complete development of the child — intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically. In our classrooms, children build confidence, self-discipline, and compassion, all while developing foundational academic skills.

​

Through hands-on activities and self-paced learning, students are encouraged to explore, solve problems, and make meaningful choices — laying the groundwork for future success in school and in life.

The Prepared Environment

Montessori classrooms are carefully designed to promote independence and focus. Everything in the room — from the materials to the layout — is intentional. Children are free to move, choose their activities, and work at their own pace in a calm, respectful setting.

​

This prepared environment, guided by a trained Montessori teacher, creates a space where learning happens naturally. Trust, respect, and joy are at the heart of each day.

Montessori Materials

Dr. Montessori observed that children learn best through hands-on exploration. In response, she developed a series of unique learning materials that are self-correcting, sensory-based, and designed to build skills in sequence.

​

These materials allow children to develop concentration, fine motor skills, number sense, language, and critical thinking — all through active engagement rather than passive instruction.

The Role of the Teacher

In a Montessori classroom, the teacher acts as a guide rather than a lecturer. Our Montessori-trained educators carefully observe each child, introduce new lessons when they’re ready, and support growth at an individual pace.

​

Montessori teachers undergo rigorous training specific to the age group they work with. This includes academic study, hands-on practice, and a year of mentorship under a certified teacher. Their role is to foster a nurturing environment where every child feels seen, supported, and inspired to grow.
