• The Montessori Method has been used in different cultures and countries around the world and continues to be a very popular method of teaching for over a century.
• It is a child-centered environment. All the materials are easily within the child’s reach and placed on shelves at their eye level.
• The teacher plays a very unobtrusive role in the classroom. The children are motivated by the teacher, and she encourages their need for self development.
• The Montessori method of education teaches each child with a customized Lesson Plan. Montessori recognizes that each child learns at a different pace and allows that growth to take place.
• Children learn through practicing tasks rather than through listening and having to memorize. There is an emphasis on concrete learning rather than on abstract learning. Children have a need to experience concepts in concrete “hands-on”ways
• The Montessori curriculum is much broader than many other programs.The materials in a Montessori classroom are carefully designed and thoroughly researched to fit the developmental needs and characteristics of children.
• The Montessori program is systematic and carefully sequenced according to principles of early childhood development.
