Bluebonnet Montessori of Lakeway is a member of the International Montessori Council and the American Montessori Society.

In a Montessori classroom, children learn according to their own pace using hands on materials. Materials are introduced to the child systematically depending on the developmental needs of the child. The classroom is designed to promote self-discipline, responsibility and independence. There is a creative atmosphere that is relaxed with sufficient classroom structure to encourage learning.

Montessori classes bring children together in multi-age groups, usually spanning three age levels. Children stay with their teachers for three years. This allows teachers to develop close and long-term relationships with their students and encourages a strong sense of community among the children. In a mixed-age classroom, the younger children have the opportunity to learn by observing their older peers and the older children gain confidence by sharing their experiences. This interaction fosters independent learning and creates a stimulating classroom atmosphere.

The skills a child learns in a Montessori program last a lifetime. Montessori children learn to think for themselves, to trust themselves and they grow to be caring and compassionate leaders. When a child leaves the Montessori environment, they have developed concentration, inner self-discipline, social skills and a positive attitude toward learning. These acquired skills allow the child to easily adjust into a new environment. They are skills they will utilize throughout life.

However, typically children perform better if they continue through the Elementary Montessori class because they are learning using the same methodology and the same approach as in the Primary class.

Yes, there are either two Montessori-certified teachers or a Montessori certified teacher and a trained assistant in every classroom.
