A Montessori classroom places an emphasis on hands-on learning and developing real-world skills. It emphasizes independence and it views children as naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a sufficiently supportive and well-prepared learning environment.

The Montessori teaching philosophy has been designed to accommodate an extensive range of learning styles, temperaments, capabilities, and personalities. Even children who may find it challenging to remain focused on a single activity can thrive in the Montessori environment.

Children in Montessori settings develop natural interests, without formal time-restricted timetables. They also benefit from enhanced social interaction and hands-on independent learning. Children can harness their curiosity in a Montessori nursery, which cultivates a life-long love of learning.

How Does the Montessori Curriculum Work? The Montessori Curriculum offers children five key areas of study: Practical Life, Sensorial, Mathematics, Language, and Cultural Studies. Each area of study is made up of a set of educational materials that increase in complexity.
