Children are like sponges, soaking up every drop of information.

Preparation for life begins much earlier than you think. Data compiled by the Rauch Foundation found that 90 percent of the brain is developed by the time a person is five years old. ExcellED offers Montessori preschool programs for children ten weeks through kindergarten.

From birth to age six, a child’s brain does not function like that of an adult.  Children are wired to “absorb” the world around them in rapid chunks, whereas adults are more apt to process information in fixed segments due to the advanced development of the prefrontal cortex.  The child has the unique ability to absorb vast amounts of information from their environment effortlessly and continuously.  This is what Maria Montessori referred to as “the absorbent mind.”
