Inspire Reservoir Montessori Program.

Inspire Early Learning Journey Reservoir embraces and follows the Montessori philosophy, which Dr. Maria Montessori developed. This philosophy supports every child to progress independently within a caring, structured, and safe environment. Courtesy and grace form a large part of the Montessori environment, where a child can develop a positive attitude towards life while learning to be respectful.

Teachers of our Montessori Program introduce learning materials based on a child’s interest and ability. Through observation, teachers allow each child to grow, develop, explore, and learn as they develop psychologically, emotionally, intellectually, and physically.
