Everything You Need To Know About Montessori
How was Montessori Developed? • The Montessori Method was developed in the 1900s by Maria Montessori. • She based her method on the premise that each child is born with a drive to develop himself. • A child learns best from his physical activity and senses if given freedom to discover, explore, and create in an enriched environment with supportive encouragement.
What is Montessori Method? • The Montessori method is based on two main principles: • Child’s natural curiosity to learn. • Their love of gaining new knowledge & skills.
• Through Montessori, children experience: • Practical life • Sensorial activities • Math • Geography • Language • Expression activities
Why Montessori Materials? • Each Montessori material develops only one perception at a time. • Every material has a controlled-error component, which places the responsibility for finding answers on the child, rather than creating a dependency on the teacher.
• Montessori materials educate the child's senses, which makes him or her alert in adapting the knowledge received in school to the outside world. • In short, the material is critical in rendering the child independent and selfmotivated by allowing him/her to develop according to his/her own personality and rhythm.
What is Montessori Classroom? • The classroom is partitioned into major elements; practical life, sensory perception, language, mathematics, cultural subjects and science, and biology. • It is this openness to new information that creates the wonderfully supportive atmosphere in a Montessori classroom, where teachers are guides and observers. • Because of their Montessori experience, children will be open to learning new information when they grow up.
