WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MONTESSORI EDUCATION?

Maria Montessori educational system is based on a strong belief in the spontaneous working of the human intellect. Her goal was to engage and develop the whole personality of a child. Her three primary principles are observation, individual liberty, and preparation of the environment.

Some of the benefits of a Montessori education include:

• Develop a love for learning: Each child is allowed supervised free choice of classroom activities and freedom of movement based on his or her interests.
  
  
• Promote initiative and self-confidence: Materials are structured and presented to enable self-teaching and independent activity, which develops self-reliance.
  
  
• Learning through the use of tangible sensory objects, which cultivates logical thinking.
  
  
• A supportive and carefully prepared environment scaled to the needs of the child and designed to teach a sense of responsibility and self-discipline.
