Creative ways to make montessori education more afforable and
accessible.
Key elements of the Montessori method in childhood learning and
development:
Hands-on Manipulatives : Montessori education
emphasizes the use of tactile materials like wooden blocks, counting
beads, and geometric shapes, allowing children to explore and
understand abstract concepts through direct sensory experiences.
Child-Centered Environment: Montessori classrooms are
carefully designed to include a wide range of learning resources, such
as books, puzzles, art supplies, and nature specimens, fostering
independent exploration and catering to each child's unique interests
and developmental stage.
Real-World Tools: Practical life resources like
child-sized brooms, pitchers, and utensils empower students to engage
in everyday tasks, promoting life skills, independence, and a sense of
responsibility within the prepared Montessori environment
