Maria Montessori believed that nothing exists in the intellect that was not first experienced in the senses.

A child learns by exploring through their senses. The sensorial materials invite the child to learn:

• Form (using geometric solids)
• Size (building the pink tower and knobbed cylinders)
• Tactile (matching textured fabrics)
• Color (sorting primary and secondary color tablets)
• Tasting and smelling
• Auditory (experimenting with the musical bells sound cylinders)

The skills developed in the sensorial area will prepare the child for work in language and math. Our Montessori classrooms are designed to satisfy a child's fundamental need to function independently in their environment. Children enjoy working with these materials repeatedly and often develop their own variations of the standard lesson.
