Focus and Concentration for Preschoolers Are Key Montessori Benefits

SAN DIEGO - May 13, 2015 - PRLog -- Your preschooler needs two things to learn more: refined motor skills and its outgrowth—the development of cognitive functions.

Unlike practices at traditional schools, Montessori preschooler in San Diego undergo a ‘whole body’ approach that encourages intense concentration through independence and long stretches of thinking.

On Thursday, May 14 from 5:30-6:30 PM, join Lifetime Montessori School Teacher, Claire Fritz, as she details how mindfulness benefits your children.

Montessori education focuses on the child—not teachers lecturing or scolding children to be quiet and complete their work. As a result, this sustained positive engagement with children manifests itself via a flow of prolonged, energized work that promotes joy and satisfaction in learning.

The result: an academic edge.

During Claire Fritz’s presentation, parents will learn how their preschoolers in 4S Ranch are given choices to engage in activities they want to do. This freedom of choice allows a child to make a personal effort toward his/her best work and illustrates how a Montessori education is more child-centered.

One philosophical strength for this preschool in Carmel Valley
is time: the allotment of more uninterrupted time to work. Montessori San Diego students are given a three hour work period which provides them with a lot of time to make choices, make mistakes, and master complex skills and concepts.

Contrast that with a traditional preschool where kids spend half that amount of time. Montessori Poway students have the ability then to walk through a natural ‘start, middle, end’ process of the project that interests them. Bingo! They are more self-motivated to complete that project and have the ability to focus and concentrate on the totality of that concept.

When coupled with another classmate or two, we see early-age teamwork and shared concentration. As a result, LMS Montessori 4S Ranch students also learn by knowledge transfer and mentoring.


This fascinating topic will be discussed on Thursday, May 14, 5:30 PM at Lifetime Montessori School (LMS). One of San Diego’s top-ranked and lowest-cost accredited private schools, LMS teaches 150 students from ages eighteen months to eight years.
