About Little Explorers Montessori
Little Explorers Montessori has been shaping young minds in the New Smyrna/Edgewater community since 1995. The curriculum is based on the highly successful Montessori Method, a child-driven program that allows each student to learn and grow at their own pace, regardless of their level or speed.

The Montessori MethodThe basic principle of the Montessori philosophy of education is that each child carries within himself the potential of the adult he will become. In order to develop his physical, spiritual, and intellectual powers, the child must have freedom–a freedom that is achieved through order and self-discipline.

Cultivating Growth
In the Montessori environment, each child is allowed to move and talk at will, and to work alone or in groups, with the understanding that the feelings and rights of others must always be respected. The overall aim, then, is to develop within the child a love of learning and a thirst for knowledge that will remain with him long after the regular school day or, indeed, the school years are over.
