What is Montessori?
Montessori is a philosophy and method of education which emphasizes the potential of the young child and which develops this potential by using special teaching materials. Montessori materials help the child to understand what s/he learns by associating abstract concepts with concrete censorial experiences. The young child internalizes concepts through movement, repetition, the use of their senses and the manipulation of concrete objects. Montessori provides a rich environment of well- structured tasks in a broad and far reaching curriculum.
The children are permitted freedom of choice within a stimulating environment with clearly defined limits. Children work individually as well as in small and large groups. They become absorbed by their chosen tasks and experience a deep, inner satisfaction in doing so.
