Montessori
Empowering Early Learners:
The Montessori method recognizes that each child is a unique individual with their own interests, abilities, and pace of development. Here are some key aspects of Montessori education:
Prepared Environment:
The classroom is a responsive environment prepared with multisensory, sequential, and self-correcting materials to support self-directed learning and the development of independence. The focus is on the process, not the results.The environment encourages freedom of movement, choice, and independent exploration.
Freedom of movement
To interact with peers and choose activities that nurture the excitement of learning. Maria Montessori saw freedom as the single most important factor in allowing children to develop as spontaneous, creative individuals.
Children learn at their own pace and level
Individual and small group instruction enables the child to learn at his or her own pace, and builds a sense of success for each child. Through such individualized instruction, teachers are able to develop strong relationships with their students by understanding each child’s strengths and challenges to further unlock their potential
Focuses on the similarities in people which leads to understanding and peace
The curriculum emphasizes the integration of geography, history, world cultures, community service, and peace education. Through exploration of cultures, children gain a basic global perspective and begin to understand issues facing all of humanity.
Freedom and self-discipline become parallel paths
Self-discipline is acquired gradually through absorption in meaningful work. The child is guided by respect for the teacher, for the work of others, and for the materials themselves. The tendency to learn to use our innate powers to develop physically, intellectually, and socially is what leads to growth of the human spirit.
All classes are multiage:
In a three-year period, children experience being the youngest, the middle, and the oldest in the community. At different stages and moments, students learn from other students and practice with them as well. At other times, students teach other students. In this way, students reinforce their own learning and master skills while helping others.
Initiative and Persistence
Students are surrounded with materials and activities geared to their inner needs so that they become accustomed to engaging in activities on their own, resulting in a habit of initiative.
Montessori environment
In a Montessori environment, children are encouraged to explore, discover, and develop a lifelong love for learning. The method nurtures their natural curiosity, independence, and intrinsic motivation, preparing them for future academic success and fostering a solid foundation for personal and intellectual growth.
