Cultivating concentration is a fundamental aspect of learning in a Montessori classroom, where the children are encouraged to fully immerse themselves in activities that spark their curiosity.
Dr. Montessori designed a curriculum around building attention, focus and concentration. These activities are ingeniously contrived to engage the child in sustained and purposeful activities that focus mental activity, build concentration and develop attention to detail.
Concentration is fostered through uninterrupted work cycles, a prepared environment, freedom of choice, and respect for the child’s focus. The Montessori classroom is self-directed, where the children engage themselves in purposeful, hands-on work.
