Benefits of the Montessori Programme

 

Montessori education offers children opportunities to develop their potential as they step out
into the world as engaged, competent, responsible, and respectful citizens with an
understanding and appreciation that learning is for life.

 

” Free the child’s potential, and you will transform him into the world.”

-Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori quotes

● Each child is valued as a unique individual.

Montessori education recognizes that children learn in different ways, and accommodates all learning styles. Students are also free to learn at their own pace, each advancing through the curriculum when they are ready, guided by the teacher, and an individualized learning plan.

● Beginning at an early age, Montessori students develop order, coordination, concentration, and independence.

Classroom design, materials, and daily routines support the individual’s emerging “self-regulation” (ability to educate one’s self and to think about what one is learning), toddlers through adolescents.

 

” Education must begin at birth.”

-Dr. Maria Montessori, The 1946 London Lectures

● Students are part of a close, caring community.

The multi-age classroom—typically spanning 3 years, though maybe up to six in Elementary—re-creates a family structure. Older students enjoy stature as mentors and role models; younger children feel supported and gain confidence about the challenges ahead. Teachers model respect, loving-kindness, and a belief in peaceful conflict resolution.

 

” As we observe children, we see the vitality of their spirit, the maximum effort put forth in all they do, the intuition, attention and focus they bring to all life’s events, and the sheer joy they experience in living.”

-The Child, Society and the World (Unpublished Speeches and Writing).

● Montessori students enjoy freedom within limits.

Working within parameters set by their teachers, students are active participants in deciding what their focus of learning will be. Montessorians understand that internal satisfaction drives the child’s curiosity and interest and results in joyous learning that is sustainable over a lifetime.

” The teacher’s task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child.” 

-The Absorbent Mind

maria montessori quotes

● Students are supported in becoming active seekers of knowledge.

Teachers provide environments where students have the freedom and the tools to pursue answers to their own questions.

“The child who has never learned to work by himself, to set goals for his own acts, or to be master of his own force of will is recognizable in the adult who lets others guide his will and feels a constant need for the approval of others.”

-Education and Peace

maria montessori quotes

● Self-correction and self-assessment are an integral part of the Montessori
classroom approach.

As they mature, students learn to look critically at their work, become adept at recognizing, correcting, and learning from their errors. Given the freedom and support to question, probe deeply, and make connections, Montessori students become confident, enthusiastic, self-directed learners. They are able to think critically, work collaboratively, and act boldly—a skill-set for the 21 st century.

Method of teaching children to become familiar with the Alphabet

  How a Montessori kindergarten teaches children the Alphabet The Montessori method – a way to help children get familiar with the Alphabet. Children learn to read and write unconsciously. By holding toys, children learn how to hold a pen. And children learn to write from a doodle on paper. Also, by listening to the first sounds of words, your child will learn how sounds combine to form a word. With the Montessori method, children learn to read and write in a very natural way. They can study on their own time budget, without any constraints. Movable Alphabet As Dr. Maria Montessori once said: “What the hand does, the mind remembers.” ” What the hand does, the mind remembers.” It is quite common in the Montessori teaching method when children begin to learn from the most concrete things and gradually move to more abstract concepts. The more children know how to perform actions, write and draw with their hands, the more concepts and letters are in their brain. A Montessori classroom ...
