Why Montessori?
Montessori's approach to education was to observe children carefully to discover their individual needs. As a great innovator she was aware that education needed to change, as does society.
Montessori believed that teachers could be trained to make children confident and capable self-educators, prepared and equipped for the future.
Maria Montessori emphasised educating the whole child, covering all aspects of development - intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual. She built upon the child’s intrinsic desire to learn and created an environment full of opportunities for children to experiment and initiate their own education.
Montessori materials are attractive and engage the child. She designed the materials to incorporate a learning objective.
