What is Montessori?

Montessori is an educational approach developed by physician and educator Dr. Maria Montessori that is based on her extensive research on early learning & human development. Focussed on self-directed activity & hands-on learning, this technique involves mixed-age classrooms in which students are provided a choice of educational activities rather than everyone learning the same lesson at once. Every element in the classroom supports the child's development and matches the child's interest with meaningful activity. A unique curriculum is created for each child based on their interests and learning styles. The results are nothing short of amazing!
