Preschool Philosophy

...The child loves concentration - the adult entertains distracts or interrupts him

The teacher in this prepared environment respects his concentration and allows him to complete an inquiry or exploration. This involves everything from watching an insect on the window sill to drops of water on a table.

...The child loves repetition - the adult becomes bored with it.

Montessori allows this freedom with respect as the child perfects his movements.

...The child loves order but the adult provides a toy box that offers nothing but disorder.

(Try keeping your kitchen organized within one large box.) The prepared environment offers shelves with neatly arranged activities always in the same place.

...Children prefer work (learning) to play (toys) - adults do not.

A childs work is his preparation for life: hopefully when he matures he will enjoy his work for he has perfected what he likes to do best.

...Children do not need rewards - adults like to think they do.

Accomplishment and creativity are reward enough. A child is self-motivated at this age and with the right environment will remain so as he grows.

...Children love silence - adults demand it.

The Montessori environment creates an awareness of silence. Let me see if you can tip toe away so quietly I can still hear the birds chirping.
On and on her discoveries move toward providing a practical way to a peaceful coexistence with children.
