Mindful Explorers Montessori is a licensed in-home authentic Montessori (AMI) preschool located in the Denver area (Centennial/Englewood), for children 13 months - 6 years old. Our goal at MEM is to meet each child where they are and gently guide them towards their next stage of development through connection and Montessori curriculum.
Mindful Explorers Montessori is a place where freedom and responsibility are earned and given. Children develop self-discipline from the freedom and responsibility to appropriately choose their own activity. This fosters intrinsic motivation and the drive toward competence charged by the child's natural curiosity and interest.
The Montessori teacher models the values she would like to see in the child. Special care is taken when the teacher prepares the environment, considering the child's cognitive, social, and physical development. The teacher quietly moves around the classroom during the work cycle and observes each child. When appropriate, the teacher respectfully engages the child and acts a gentle guide. Children may turn to the teacher for help at any time.
