Core Principles of Montessori Pedagogy

Core Principles of Montessori Pedagogy

  • Self-Directed Learning: Montessori pedagogy encourages children to become independent learners. Children are free to choose their activities based on their interests, which allows them to develop autonomy and decision-making skills.
  • Respect for Individual Development: Every child is seen as a unique individual with their own pace of development. Montessori educators respect this pace and adapt the learning environment to meet the specific needs of each child.
  • Prepared Environment: The Montessori environment is carefully designed to encourage exploration and learning. It is organized to be aesthetically pleasing and offers a variety of educational materials suited to different ages and levels of development.
  • Role of the Educator: The Montessori educator acts as a guide rather than a traditional teacher. They observe the children, identify their needs and interests, and introduce activities that support their development. The educator also encourages the child to explore and learn on their own.
