The Montessori classroom is a child sized world. To the child the world is unmanageable – it is too big too complex and too confusing. By careful selection of materials an environment is set up that allows the child a place to explore life on a level he/she can understand. The materials or exercises are designed to stimulate independent exploration.
Montessori assumes that children are born intelligent they simply learn in different ways and progress at their own pace. The Montessori approach to education is consciously designed to recognize and address these different learning styles. Children progress as they master new skills moving ahead as quickly as they are ready. Montessori educators understand that they must “follow the child” adjusting their strategies and timetable to fit the development of each individual child.
Montessori children learn through hands-on experience investigation and research. They become actively engaged in their activities. Maria Montessori said “The hand is the chief teacher of the child.” Thus the teacher designs a classroom that is exciting to learn in with materials and curriculum centered around Practical Life Sensorial Language Math Geography History Science Art and Music.
