The Montessori Method

What is Montessori?

: Montessori is a teaching methodology based on the natural learning processes of children. Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician, developed the method more than 90 years ago. Dr. Montessori used the term “the absorbent mind” to describe how a young child learns in a comfortable and stimulating environment.
Within such an environment, a child becomes absorbed in work, developing concentration, independence, and self-discipline. Dr. Montessori believed that children learn best through their senses. By working with concrete materials, the child begins to understand abstract concepts. With guidance by a trained Montessori teacher, the child gradually masters the different materials and concepts. As the child masters each task, it reinforces learning as a positive experience. Success develops the child’s self-confidence and self-esteem.

Why Montessori?

The primary goal of Montessori education is to help children reach their full potential. The Montessori Method of Education is supported by over a century of research and its foundation is recognized by developmental researchers, child psychologists, teachers, schools and universities all over the world.
Below are just some among the vast number of benefits derived from Montessori education.
Above all, Montessori children are:

Happy, self-motivated and enthusiastic learners
Better socialized and able to solve their conflicts
Fluent readers and masters of abstract mathematical concepts
Well advanced in grade placements
In possession of natural self-esteem, courteous and compassionate Other important principles include:
Children are guided to learn at their own pace, through individualized lessons and specialized materials.
Lessons are introduced in stages, starting with very simple and concrete, allowing for a thorough understanding of the subject and a sense of achievement. Overtime, lessons are added higher levels of complexity and abstraction until the more advanced concepts are fully mastered, thereby also cementing the child’s self-confidence, independence and self-esteem.
The curriculum is organized into overlapping subjects rather than individual ones. This approach enables children to study over extended periods of time the various aspects and levels of each topic, while solidifying the understanding of the core concepts and avoiding over-reliance on memorization.
