What is Montessori?Montessori Educations main goal is to help children develop a sense of social responsibility. This is done through hands-on learning in multi-age classrooms prepared with materials designed to stimulate the childs powers of imagination and reason.
The Montessori philosophy emphasizes that children have certain psychological tendencies that need to be recognized and nurtured. Montessori teachers are specially trained to guide children through the developmental levels. Typically, Montessori elementary schools are organized into classrooms of 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12 year olds.
The Montessori curriculum includes Great Lessons dealing with the beginning of the universe, the history of the Earth, the history of numbers, and the history of oral and written language. Children research aspects of these lessons and often study topics that are interdisciplinary.
