Montessori Methods

Montessori methods are an educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, emphasizing child-led learning, independence, and hands-on experiences. In a Montessori classroom, children explore at their own pace using specially designed materials that promote discovery and creativity. The environment is prepared to encourage self-direction and collaborative work, allowing children to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Teachers, known as guides, support individual learning rather than direct instruction. This approach fosters a love of learning, respect for others, and a strong sense of responsibility in students, enabling them to develop both academically and socially.
