Benefits of a Montessori Education

  • Mixed ages in the classroom, with older children teaching younger children; builds self-esteem.
  • Self-correcting materials give children the opportunity to learn through their own errors.
  • Each child learns at their own pace
  • Concrete learning, rather than abstract learning, involving hands-on experience.
  • Child-centered environment where all materials are within their reach and the furniture is comfortable for them.
  • Work for the joy of working and the sense of discovery: children delight in learning new tasks and are interested in the work itself.
  • Natural sense of discipline: expectations are clearly stated and enforced by the children and the teacher.
  • Prepared environment, where everything has a specific place, enhancing the child’s natural tendency for order.
  • Children are motivated by the need for self-development, rather than by the teacher.
