What is Montessori
Montessori education, named after Dr. Maria Montessori, is founded on the belief in children's innate ability to absorb information when granted the freedom to learn at their own pace. Dr. Montessori's scientific background and profound insights into the child’s development have sparked a global movement and influenced mainstream education. Scientific research increasingly supports Montessori's approach, emphasizing the importance of allowing children to choose, try, and engage in hands-on learning experiences. This approach, combined with specially designed materials in a prepared environment and guidance from Montessori-trained teachers, fosters a powerful and confidence-building learning environment that optimizes children's developmental progress.
Montessori Benefits
Montessori is, literally…learning for life.
By comprehending the mechanisms of children's learning and furnishing them with tailored materials and opportunities aligned with their natural interaction with the world, the Montessori method facilitates learning through comprehension rather than instruction. This approach cultivates confidence, a love for learning, and the ability to focus. Additionally, many Montessori activities emphasize physical engagement, refining gross motor skills, balance, fine motor skills, and fostering an appreciation for shapes, colors, and sizes. Particularly in language and mathematics, Montessori education begins with tangible experiences from the child's environment, illuminating abstract concepts and gradually leading to a profound and lasting understanding. These components collectively lay the groundwork for future learning, nurturing the child's ability to embrace new information and providing the tools necessary for its manipulation.
