Why Montessori

The Story of Montessori

An education philosophy that can apply to children of any age.

The Montessori educational approach aims to foster children's natural interest and activities rather than using formal teaching techniques. The development of practical skills and hands on learning are prioritized in a Montessori classroom it place a strong emphasise on independence and holds that children are capable of initiating learning in a setting that is sufficiently encouraging and prepared for learning. Unfoldment theory can be seen as the philosophical foundation. It discourages the use of several common performance indicators, like grades and assessments.

The approach was created in the early 20th century by the Italian physician Maria Montessori, who tested her theories with her students using scientific methods. Since then both public and private schools around the world have adopted the approach. The Montessori educational approach is centred on self directed activity, experiential learning, and group play. Children in Montessori classrooms make independent decisions about their education while the environment and the highly qualified instructor provide age appropriate activities to support the process.

There are other practices that go by the name "Montessori" which is not a registered trademark. Students independence (including their choice of activity), long stretches of the uninterrupted work time, particularly qualified teachers and prepared atmosphere are all the popular components. The majority of scientific research on the Montessori method is favourable, with a 2017 study nothing that "broad evidence" exist for its effectiveness.

The foundation of Montessori education is model of human development. This educational approach is based on the two tenets that children (specially those under the age of 6) have inbuild root of psychological development and that psychological self construction in children and emerging adults occurs through contextual interactions. Based on her observations, Montessori theorized that childrens who are allowed to make their own decisions and behave however they choose in the setting that have been design accordance with her model will do so in a way that promotes their development.

The Montessori method incorporates and structured play in a "prepared environment" which refers to a learning space design to take into account each childs unique personality, development stage and basic human traits. The environment's role is to support and facilitate the child's development of independence across the board in line with his or her internal psychological needs. The environment should showcase the children's skills and talents in addition to providing access to Montessori resources suited to their age.

Child centered learning is a main focus of Montessori preschools. The focus on a child intellectual, physical, moral, social and emotional growth at Montessori schools helps childrens develop into independence thinkers who have a passion for learning for the rest of their lives.
