Montessori education is an active method.
It is based on the sensory education of children, and enables them to develop self-discipline, tolerance and respect for themselves, the group, the educator, the environment and the work of others.
The child thus becomes autonomous, responsible for himself, the organizer of his own projects and work, and supportive of the world in which he lives.<\/p>\n

Free choice and respect for everyone’s pace<\/h2>\n

Children learn through movement. In the classroom, they act independently: the important thing is that they choose and execute their own movements spontaneously. Each child progresses at their own pace, encouraged by the adult who emphasizes successes rather than failures.
Instruction is individualized and adapted to each child. Free choice and repetition of exercises lead the child to perseverance, concentration, and mastery of movement.
The teacher guides the child with kindness and confidence, in a withdrawn posture, different from the traditional posture: once the demonstration is complete, they remain present as a simple observer. <\/p>\n

Choice of learning materials<\/h2>\n

Gives the child the possibility of discovering abstract notions in a sensory and concrete way. Its use involves manipulation and independent work. <\/p>\n

The age mix<\/h2>\n

The class is made up of children of different ages, from 3 to 6.<\/p>\n

Environmental awareness<\/h2>\n

Through an early awareness of the needs of plants and animals, and by observing nature, children learn to respect and protect our environment.<\/p>\n

Self-evaluation<\/h2>\n

The absence of grades means less competition and more mutual aid and cooperation. Children are encouraged to self-assess their own skills and, through dialogue with their instructor, to plan the handling of the equipment they need to train and perfect their abilities in certain areas. <\/p>\n
