The Role of the Educator

StarStarStarStar

The educator observes and supports the child's learning rather than dictating it. This approach fosters a more intimate understanding of the child's developmental needs and allows for more individualized guidance.

Learning in Context

StarStarStarStar

Montessori education emphasizes the importance of learning within a context to make it meaningful. Hands-on activities and practical life skills are integrated into the curriculum to help children connect what they learn to real-world applications.

Respect for the Child

StarStarStarStar

Children are treated as individuals with their own strengths, needs, and interests. Educators facilitate learning by respecting these individual differences and allowing students the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace.

Prepared Environment

The classroom is designed to facilitate independent learning and exploration. Materials and curriculum are tailored to support self-directed learning and to encourage children to engage with their environment purposefully.

The Absorbent Mind

StarStarStarStar

Children are naturally curious and have a remarkable ability to absorb information from their environment. The Montessori Method leverages this by providing a rich learning environment that allows children to learn through exploration and discovery.

Sensitive Periods

StarStarStarStar

Children go through specific periods where they are more receptive to learning certain skills. Montessori education identifies and takes advantage of these sensitive periods to introduce concepts when children are most ready to learn them.

StarStarStarStar

Autoeducation

StarStarStarStar

Children are capable of educating themselves by interacting with their environment. The role of the educator is to prepare the environment and act as a guide rather than a traditional instructor.

StarStarStarStar

Freedom within Limits

StarStarStarStar

Children are given the freedom to choose their own activities within the confines of a structured environment, which promotes independence while ensuring that they engage with educational materials in a productive way.
