In Montessori education the children work on their
own within a carefully prepared environment.
The directresses observes the individual child at work
and presents the teaching material to them in
appropriate sequence giving guidance and encouragement.
For the young child the method begins with practical life
exercises which have the aim of helping the child to grow with
independence by performing simple body movements looking
after themselves and their environment in social relations and
in laying the foundations for much of the work that comes later.
A Montessori child plays games with words listening for beginning
middle and end sounds. This moves progressively to a natural explosion
into writing through word building with a moveable alphabet and then on to reading.
The child begins the study of mathematics by working with tangible quantitative materials
and progresses gradually to the understanding of the math process.
In addition to the mentioned activities the child has access to geography
science. music art and the outdoors.
