Montessori is a hands-on teaching method that has become very popular today especially in teaching children in their early years. There has been a lot of research in the last few decades that supports the Montessori method of teaching especially for early childhood. Montessori method of teaching involves the use of materials to enhance the child’s physical, intellectual, emotional and language development. It also supports the development of self-confidence, independence and concentration that are essential in life. Montessori materials are attractive, easy to use and engaging. They continue to fascinate all our students.

Montessori is child centered. A Montessori teacher guides the child to deeper learning of what they are interested in. Every child learns at their own pace too. Conventional system of education is teacher centered or curriculum centered. All children in the class are expected to go at the pace that the teacher sets.

Montessori is designed to help all children reach their fullest potential at their own unique pace. Montessori classroom supports all children because there is no comparison. The multi-age grouping allows each child to find his or her own pace without feeling “ahead” or “behind” in relation to peers. The curriculum is flexible and teacher caters to the differences in the children’s abilities. For these reasons and more, Montessori has proven to be highly successful with children of various temperaments and abilities, including those with special needs.

Research studies show that Montessori children are well prepared academically, socially, and emotionally for later life. In addition to scoring well on standardized tests, Montessori children rank above average on criteria such as: following directions, turning in work on time, listening attentively, using basic skills, showing responsibility, asking provocative questions, showing enthusiasm for learning, and adapting to new situations.
