Montessori Education is an educational method developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 20th century.
Montessori methods are based on the principle that children have the potential to learn and develop naturally and independently.
In the Montessori method, children are given the freedom to carry out learning activities in accordance with their interests and abilities.
Montessori Education emphasizes the use of tools and learning materials specifically designed to develop children's fine and cognitive motor skills.
Montessori Education teaches children to work together and help each other in learning, by respecting the differences and uniqueness of each individual.
Montessori Education also emphasizes the development of social skills, such as empathy, decision making, and good conflict resolution.
In Montessori Education, the teacher acts as an observer and facilitator, not as a leader or instructor who controls all children's activities.
The Montessori Method has been used throughout the world, and is recognized as an effective and influential educational approach.
Montessori Education has proven effective in helping children with special needs, such as children with autistic spectrum or ADHD disorders.
Montessori Education also emphasizes the development of independent skills and creativity, by giving children the opportunity to explore, find, and develop their own interests.
