Montessori
Montessori is an educational philosophy developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that emphasizes student-centered learning through hands-on activities and exploration. It encourages independence, curiosity, and respect for a child's natural development, allowing learners to choose activities that interest them within a prepared environment. Teachers facilitate rather than direct, observing each child's pace and providing appropriate materials to foster self-motivation and discovery. The approach aims to develop not just academic skills but also social, emotional, and practical life skills, supporting well-rounded growth in a supportive, respectful setting.
