We know that the first six years of life provide opportunities to open intellectual and emotional pathways in a child's life that are never equaled again. Children have an innate motivation to learn, but it is up to parents and teachers to provide the environment that will allow that drive to flourish. Within the nurturing atmosphere of Marbella Montessori’s Toddler and Early Childhood programs, children naturally work with interest and focus, developing a habit of concentration and love of learning that will last them all their lives.
