Children in Montessori classrooms often team up for activities.

Montessori or Traditional PreK? Many teachers and parents around the world hail the educational philosophy of Maria Montessori.

hat you see when you enter a Montessori preschool classroom: calm, children of mixed ages, "working" with solid, unusual materials. What you won't see? Legos and traditional toys that usually fill out the realm of a young child's environment or distracted children running about. Not that you'll see that at traditional preschools, but Montessori is different. Montessori was first developed in 1897 by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori who made it her life's work to study children very closely. She developed a theory of human development based on the idea that children instinctively know what they need to learn, and that, when they are surrounded by the right materials, they can teach themselves independently. “Montessori creates a prepared environment and educated guides,” says Sherry Knott, executive director of Abintra Montessori School in Nashville. “It allows for freedom of movement, a challenging curriculum and is based on the observation of the individual child and his needs,” Knott adds.

Montessori education is more developmentally based, says Kathy Conlin, education director at Cool Springs Montessori. “Children are motivated from within and absorb knowledge by interacting with their environment and responding to it,” Conlin says. “Eighty percent of an early childhood Montessori day is self-directed, whereas in more traditional schools, adults are directing most of the day,” says Knott. So, what are the benefits of a Montessori education for your preschooler? With Montessori,everything a child does is education and children are encouraged to follow their interests while still getting a well-rounded curriculum. “Children learn to ask questions, make decisions and seek challenges,” Conlin explains, noting that Montessori children transition to a traditional classroom with ease. “They have the foundation to be well-rounded, responsible and productive members of their classroom community,” Conlin says. A typical day in the early childhood and toddler classroom will have a two-to-threehour work cycle, morning snack, group Private School Directory

time, morning recess, lunch, rest time and an afternoon work cycle before dismissal. And all Montessori schools have their own personalities and they can vary quite a bit. “All Montessori schools are different. Parents need to visit a variety of them to find the one that most suits their child’s needs,” says Knott. In a traditional preschool, the teacher is the central figure in the classroom and she guides children through various station activities, group activities and through the day's schedule. In a Montessori classroom, the teacher follows the lead of the child who are permitted to follow their own interests. When choosing between the approaches for your child, be sure to visit many schools in order to see for yourself and take your child's needs into consideration. You know your child best and your instincts will help you make the best decision. Susan Day is editor of this publication and a mom of four.
