The Montessori Approach
The Montessori approach is a child-centred way of learning that encourages independence, curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love of learning. Children are given the freedom to explore and learn at their own pace within a carefully prepared environment.
Montessori educators observe each child and guide their learning based on their individual interests, needs, and stage of development. Through hands-on experiences and purposeful activities, children develop practical skills, concentration, problem-solving and a sense of responsibility.
At the heart of Montessori is a simple belief: Children are capable, curious, and eager to learn when given the right environment, guidance and freedom to grow.
“Children acquire knowledge through experience in the environment”
“Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed”
“The environment must be rich in motives which lend interest to activity and invite the child to conduct his own experiences”
