The Montessori Method holds the highest degree of respect for the child. Within the prepared environment, children are presented with a variety of specially designed materials, which address the particular stages of mental, physical and social development. These materials are multi-sensory and self-correcting. The child learns independently through repeated work with the Montessori materials. The Montessori method is a response to a universal plea from children, “I want to learn, but let me do it myself.”
It is the method that possesses a certain order and allows children to proceed at their own speed, according to individual capacities, in a non-competitive atmosphere during the early years. Dr. Montessori said, “Never let a child risk failure, until he has a reasonable chance for success. Through exposure to both physical and mental order, the child develops the inner discipline necessary for them to persist in their chosen tasks.”
