What is Montessori

The Montessori approach to education believes that children, when placed in a specific environment, can develop their abilities and knowledge through observation, perception, experience, and practice. They are given the opportunity to shape and develop their personality using a self-growth structure with comprehensive understanding and support. The ultimate goal of this approach is to build a self-regulated, caring, and challenging individual. Through using the Montessori teaching style, children can gain a balance of development in areas such as social, emotional, cognitive, linguistic, physical, artistic and musical.

The main significance of Montessori education is as follows:

1. Respecting the Individual: Providing differentiated and personalized development through understanding and respecting the interests, needs and abilities of each unique individual.
2. Inspiring Autonomy: Providing a challenging learning experience within a free learning environment can inspire children to develop their sense of self-management.
3. Cultivating Character: Through experiential and hands-on learning experiences, Montessori education is responsible for cultivating childrens emotional awareness, morals, and social consciousness in order that they can explore the "goodness", "beauty," and "truth" of the world.
4. Fostering Holistic Development: By providing diversified learning experiences, this approach aims to develop the childs intellect and character comprehensively.
