Montessori Methodology
Montessori Methodology refers to an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Dr. Maria Montessori. This methodology emphasizes individualized learning, hands-on experiences, and a prepared environment that promotes independence, exploration, and self-directed activity. It is based on the belief that children are naturally curious and capable learners who can construct their own knowledge through sensory-motor activities and interactive experiences with materials and peers. Montessori Methodology prioritizes the development of the whole child, including cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth, and recognizes the importance of fostering a love for learning and a sense of community in early childhood education.
