About

The Montessori method is an educational approach developed by Dr. Montessori, based on her work with children with disabilities and in the Casa die Bambini. Combining theory and practice, the method encompassed the ideas, principles, techniques, and materials that inspire, inform, and guide all Montessori programs. Some key ideas include treating children with respect, acting as a guide and facilitation; prepare the environment to suit the Children's needs, providing materials and presentations appropriate to children's sensitive periods, using didactic learning materials, incorporating physical movement in all activities, giving children the opportunity to work repeatedly on tasks, encouraging them to correct mistakes independently, allowing them to work at their own pace and observe them to determine when they are ready to learn a new skill.
