At Lakeview Montessori, art is an integral part of the curriculum and is approached through the lens of the Montessori philosophy, which emphasizes creativity, independence, and self-expression. In our carefully prepared environments, students are given the freedom to explore a wide variety of artistic materials and techniques at their own pace, fostering both fine motor development and imaginative thinking. Art activities are designed to be open-ended, allowing each child to interpret and create based on their unique perspective, interests, and developmental stage. This process-oriented approach encourages a deep appreciation for artistic expression while supporting the development of confidence, focus, and aesthetic awareness.
