The Montessori pedagogy
An environment specially designed for children.
Practical life
Practical life activities allow children to practise a range of activities and develop skills related to everyday life.
Sensory
The 3–6-year-old is an explorer who discovers the surrounding world through the senses. The sensorial material enables them to concretely experience touch, height, weight, shape, colour, temperature, smell, and texture.
Mathematics
The child’s mathematical mind is able to abstract, reason, investigate, imagine, calculate, measure and be precise.
Language
Language development is divided into four stages: oral language, the introduction of writing, reading, and hand-writing.
Up to the age of three, oral language enables children to familiarise themselves with words and a rich vocabulary, which they can then use in writing. Montessori pedagogy supports this sensitive period of language development with an adapted environment and educational materials.
Culture
Children need to experience, construct and take ownership of their relationship to the world around them. Exploring a variety of activities, such as geography, botany, artistic expression and music, connects them to the real world.
The children engage in the scientific method when they validate their hypotheses through experimentation.
Discipline and freedom
Montessori pedagogy gives children the freedom to choose their activities and work at their own pace. Social norms are assimilated naturally through the communal life of the class.
