Why Montessori?
Despite its profound benefits, the Montessori method is not as widely recognized as it should be. This could be partly attributed to the limited mainstream coverage of Dr. Montessori's impactful life and work. Additionally, since Montessori's name has been closely tied to the method and she passed away in 1952, some may mistakenly see it as outdated. However, those who discover the Montessori method recognize that it perfectly aligns with modern educational research, which supports learning environments that cater to children's natural behaviors of exploration, movement, and discovery.
The Montessori Advantage
The Montessori method is rooted in the scientific observation of children’s learning processes. It emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play, enabling children to make creative choices in their learning, while the environment and the educator guide and facilitate their development. This approach not only fosters problem-solving abilities and deep academic understanding but also cultivates independence and social-emotional skills.
