We have an infinitely magnificent gift - The Infinite Love of Jesus. We have been so blessed to be part of this program founded by Maria Montessori in Italy. Her teaching method is unique in that she strove to help children learn through "hands on experience" ~ not using a lot of words. After years of research and teaching, she devised a catechetical program wherein the "teachers" are "helpers" - learning and experiencing with the children. On each day, we begin with a gathering, followed by a few songs around the piano, then a small catechetical presentation which demonstrates one of the biblical prophesies, parables, infancy narratives or Easter stories, followed with the children working on "practical life" activities and we close the grace-filled day with a prayer. Blessed be God!
