Dr. Maria Montessori developed a unique style of education that focuses on how children interact with their world. It is an approach to education with the fundamental belief that a child learns best within a social environment which supports and respects each individual’s unique development. The “Whole Child” approach is unique in that the primary goal of a Montessori program is to help each child reach full potential in all areas of life—social, emotional, physical and cognitive preparation.

The environment is prepared to allow self-directed learning to occur— the room, materials and social climate are supportive of the learner. The Montessori materials are multi-sensory, sequential and self-correcting; they facilitate independent learning and the learning of abstract ideas.

There exists in every child: curiosity, creativity and intelligence. Our goal is to provide a stimulating, child-centered environment in which children can explore, touch, and learn without fear, thus engendering a lifelong love of learning as well as providing the child the self-control necessary to fulfill that love. Our vision at Ahava daycare is that through a carefully prepared environment and a firm foundation of Torah values every child will grow to their greatest potential and remain a lifelong learner.
