The Montessori Method is based on the insights of Dr. Maria Montessori who believed that no human being is educated by another person. A child must do it himself or it will never be done. A truly educated individual continues learning long after the hours and years he spends in the classroom because he is motivated from within by a natural curiosity and love for knowledge. Dr. Montessori felt therefore that the goal of early childhood education should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies but rather to cultivate his own natural desire to learn.
In the Montessori classroom this objective is approached in two ways: first by allowing each child to experience the excitement of learning by her own choice rather than by being forced; and second by helping her to perfect all her natural tools for learning so that her ability will be at a maximum in future learning situations. The Montessori materials have this dual long-range purpose in addition to their immediate purpose of giving specific information to the child.
The use of the materials is based on the young (age 0-6) child’s unique aptitude for learning – literally absorbing information from the environment like a sponge. Over eighty years of experience have proved her theory that a young child can learn to read write and calculate in the same natural way that he learns to walk and talk. In a Montessori classroom the equipment invites him to do this at his own periods of interest and readiness.*
