Maria Montessori Children & Nature
Young children are sensorial learners. This quote from Dr. Montessori above embodies how rich their experiences can be. Even as an adult, the memories of walking barefoot in grass from my own childhood are still so strong.
Nature has the ability to calm us, to connect us with beauty, and to reconnect us to the earth and environment.
Having been said, Alpha Montessori School in Plano consists of simple natural materials!
Alpha Montessori School is a certified natural play space.
In our Playgrounds we have,
