Das MONTESSORI Zentrum Nürnberg is a comprehensive educational institution that offers children from 1 to 16 years old a holistic learning environment based on Montessori pedagogy. Founded in 1984 and in operation since 1986, the center includes a children's house with a crèche, kindergarten, after-school care, and a school with primary and secondary levels. The offering is complemented by a Montessori vocational high school up to the Abitur. The center is characterized by its modern, open buildings on the Wöhrder See and offers a total of over 650 childcare places[3][7].
The focus is on the individual support of children according to Maria Montessori's principle: "Help me to do it myself!" The pedagogical work supports the children's natural urge to move and their urge to explore, enables them to learn independently and develop socially. Mixed-age groups promote respectful interaction, and specially equipped rooms with Montessori materials invite independent discovery and playful learning[2][5][6].
The children's house with its four kindergarten and three crèche groups creates a safe, prepared environment in which children explore the world with all their senses. The rooms are cleverly designed and closely oriented to the respective developmental needs of the children. The focus is on promoting independence, social skills and cognitive abilities through a variety of materials and activities, which also include language, dealing with numbers and cosmic education. Movement is promoted by spacious outdoor facilities with a garden, waterfall, path of the senses and movement areas[1][4][6].
The values of the center are based on respect, appreciation and the equality of all children - regardless of origin, gender or pace of development. The educators* are committed to creating an atmosphere that promotes trust and security by being available as permanent contact persons and supporting the children individually[6][7].
Sustainability and environmental awareness are an integral part of Montessori education at the center. Cosmic education teaches children to treat nature and culture with care, supported by natural learning locations and materials. In addition, the campus has been expanded in recent years to include a modern new building that optimally supports Montessori pedagogy with well-thought-out room concepts and at the same time takes sustainable construction and usage concepts into account[4][5].
Overall, the MONTESSORI Zentrum Nürnberg offers a trusting, innovative and value-oriented learning landscape that accompanies children in their individual development, awakens their creativity and prepares them for a self-confident and responsible life.
