Montessori is well-known for developing, in children, confident social living skills built upon secure self-esteem. Moving well-beyond "please" and "thank-you", Montessori fosters the ability to greet, interact with, resolve issues with and respect others.

Many of the normal routines of the room are established to assist children in developing social awareness. We assist the child to integrate within the social group as well as develop healthy habits of self-responsibility.
