We Believe

 At WILD the nonprofit, we believe in a world where every child has the potential to shape a brighter future. 

To guide us in our mission, we draw inspiration from the philosophies of Maria Montessori, whose educational principles resonate deeply with our values.

 Maria Montessori’s Philosophies:

        1.      Respect for the Child: Each child is an individual with unique needs and potential. Our approach honors their innate ability to learn and grow at their own pace.
        2.      Prepared Environment: We create spaces that are thoughtfully designed to support and stimulate children’s natural curiosity and learning.
        3.      Self-Directed Learning: Children thrive when given the freedom to explore and engage with their interests, fostering independence and a lifelong love of learning.
        4.      Hands-On Learning: We emphasize experiential learning through hands-on activities that engage the senses and promote deeper understanding.
        5.      Role of the Educator: Educators act as guides, supporting and facilitating rather than directing, to help children discover their own paths to knowledge.
        6.      Holistic Development: We focus on the overall development of the child, including cognitive, emotional, social, and physical growth, ensuring a well-rounded approach to education.

As Montessori said, “The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say, ‘The children are now working as if I did not exist.’”

Through these guiding principles, we strive to empower every child, believing that with the right support and environment, they will have the opportunity to become confident, capable, and compassionate individuals.
