FAQ

Montessori is a teaching methodology that has become very popular today. It helps children learn in a very hands-on way using concrete materials.

Brain research and other research in the field of early childhood support this methodology to teach children, especially in their golden years (0-6 years).

Montessori does not just focus on academics but on the Whole Child: Physical, Intellectual, language, emotional and social development.

Montessori prepares children for life!

Maria Montessori designed her methodology through her scientific observations while working with children.

EVERY child can benefit from her teaching method. They work well with Special needs, Gifted children and children with different temperaments.

In a Montessori classroom, children are not judged or compared. They progress at their own pace and no child is ahead or left behind.

There are many types of research to show that Montessori children are better prepared academically, socially, and emotionally for life in their later years.

They score well on standardized tests and are generally better than children from conventional schools showing more responsibility, commitment, and enthusiasm for learning and are better at adapting to new situations. They also show more empathy and have better social graces.

Teaching is not for everyone…

You will need to love children and have a desire to make a difference in their lives. You also need patience and commitment. It may be best if you go to a nearby preschool and observe a class in action and interact enough with children to see if you really want to learn to teach them.

Montessori says…

“It is not true that I invented what is called the Montessori Method… I have studied the child; I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method.”
