1. Montessori creates self-starters.
From the time students begin at Montessori school, no matter the age, they are learning to make choices and decisions about their work in order to help them develop effective time management skills.
2. Montessori fosters independence starting at a young age.
The child takes matters into their own hands by cleaning up messes, putting on shoes and coats – you’ll even find the 18-month-olds smashing their own peanut shells or slicing their own bananas (safely and under supervision, of course!).
3. Montessori classroom structures are unique and child-centric.
As soon as you enter a classroom at a Montessori school, you will notice something different than you’ve experienced before. You’ll see children working independently or in small groups doing a variety of activities.
4. Montessori schools work differently than others.
The role of the teacher in Montessori education is to observe, guide, and help their students succeed.
5. Montessori students learn to work together and build relationships. One of the most unique aspects of Montessori schools is the relationship that children build with their peers. Most Montessori schools have a very diverse community – so children understand right away that differences make each person unique and special. Children are placed in three-year age groupings: 1-2year olds; 3-6 year-olds, and so forth. This pairing dynamic, which mimics real life, instills confidence, pride, and leadership.
