Practical Living - Healthy Living - Joyful Living!

It is in learning to do everyday activities such as dressing, dusting, sweeping, preparing and serving food, and fixing or building that a child learns to use his or her body and mind for a purpose. It's how they learn to concentrate, to complete cycles of activity, to finish what they have started and, most importantly, how to contribute to the work of the family, the social group. Practical Life activities provide the groundwork for physical, mental and social development as well as teach the work habits that lead to success in later academic work.

Practical living-healthy and living-joyful exercises are a foundation of our school and part of our daily lives at Aurora Montessori!
