What is Montessori?

Montessori is a method of education that is based on self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in their learning, while the classroom and the teacher offer age-appropriate activities to guide the process. Children work in groups and individually to discover and explore knowledge of the world and to develop their maximum potentials. Montessori Method creates an environment for young children that enable them to be independent, active and learn. Montessori approach mainly focus to freedom of learning. The prepared environment makes learning materials and experience available to children in orderly format. Montessori describes really what educators advocate when they talk about child-centered education and active learning. Freedom is the essential characteristic of prepared environment. Since children within the environment are free to explore materials of their own choosing, they observe what they find there.
