Sensorial

- A young girl playing.
Aristotle said, "There is nothing in the mind which is
not first in the senses". Montessori provides a complete
curriculum area devoted to enhancing the child's ability
to process and refine information gained via the 5 senses.
Minor differences in sizes, shades, sounds and sensations
challenge the children to concentrate. Some learning difficulties
have been linked to the brain's ability to sort and process
information gained from sight, hearing etc.

The Sensorial curriculum provides the opportunity for the young child to be
developing neural pathways to develop the sorting and
processing within the brain.
Additionally, the Sensorial curriculum provides pre-literacy
and pre-numeracy preparation. The equipment appeals to
the child's interest in building towers and putting objects
in holes.
"There is nothing in the intellect that is not first in
the senses."
