PARADISE MONTESSORI PRESCHOOL IS AN INDEPENDENT PRIVATE SCHOOL
APPROVED BY MANITOBA EDUCATION
Our goal is to give the student a chance to explore the
environment at his or her own pace and to encourage the
child to become independent, improving self-confidence and
self-esteem, while developing their social, intellectual,
and academic skills.
"Scientific observation has established that education is
not what the teacher gives; education is a natural process
spontaneously carried out by the human individual, and is
acquired not by listening to words but by experiences upon
the environment. The task of the teacher becomes
that of preparing a series of motives of cultural
activity, spread over a specially prepared environment,
and then refraining from obtrusive interference.
Human teachers can only help the great work that is being
done, as servants help the master. Doing so, they
will be witnesses to the unfolding of the human soul and
to the rising of a New Man who will not be a victim of
events, but will have the clarity of vision to direct and
shape the future of human society." - Dr. Maria
Montessori, Education for a New World
