What makes the Montessori method unique? |
| |
Dr.Montessori
gave us a method for assisting children in their
development and help them grow in independence
at various levels. The Montessori method is a
comprehensive and holistic education system and
has been put together after exhaustive field study.It
takes into consideration the needs of the child
and offers him or her the assistance he/she requires
. The activities that are available to the child
in the Montessori environment helps in development
his motor coordination, as well as his social,
cognitive and affective skills.
It is the only system that has defined education
in terms that are relevant to the child. It is
extremely flexible and caters to the learning
styles of every individual child and truly allows
the child to learn and work at things with interest
and at his own pace. Besides individual work,
the child is given the opportunity to participate
in group and collective activities. |
