If you’re looking for a child care option for your child, then there’s a good chance that you’ve come across the term ‘Montessori.’ You may be wondering what it’s all about.
Montessori, which falls under the category of sessional preschools, are based on the idea that education is something that begins spontaneously, as soon as we are born.
The system uses specialised equipment, including child sized utensils, to teach the child self care, as well as a host of other skills.
Specially trained teachers help the children to guide their own education, and your child will learn skills in concentration, independence and more. Like a traditional pre school, a Montessori helps to prepare your child for formal education, but it’s a less structured environment.
A system based on positive feedback, learning at their own pace and the security of a community, while still allowing children the freedom to choose what they learn and when, may be the ideal situation for your child. It encourages creativity, makes learning fun, and allows your child to bond with other children – all the hallmarks of a good preschool.
