Do You Speak Montessori Yet?

Workbench

Maria Montessori designed the classroom as a "prepared environment" because she believed children needed time, space, and opportunities for learning. Children choose their work, serving their need for autonomy, limited only by what is purposeful, what is available, and what lessons they have had.

"The role of education is to interest the child profoundly in an external activity to which he will give all his potential."                                  --M Montessori


In Montessori-- "We are learning how to learn."

                                                  In Montessori--"Love what you do!"

"An interesting piece of work, freely chosen, which has the virtue of inducing concentration rather than fatigue, adds to the child's energies and mental capacities and leads him to self-mastery."
