CAN I DO MONTESSORI AT HOME WITH MY CHILD?

Yes, you can use Montessori principles of child development at home. Look at your home through your child's eyes. Children need a sense of belonging, and they get it by participating fully in the routines of everyday life.

Can you find ways for your child to participate in meal preparation, cleaning, gardening, caring for clothes, shoes, and toys? Providing opportunities for independence is the surest way to build your child's self-esteem.

At the school level many homeschooling and other parents use the Montessori philosophy of following the child's interest and not interrupting concentration to educate their children. Only a trained Montessori teacher can properly implement Montessori education, using the specialised learning equipment of the Montessori "prepared environment", which is an integral part of Montessori education.

Are Montessori children successful later in life?
