Importance of Montessori Education
Although the Montessori education system came up during early 1990’s, our country took it into practice just a decade ago. What is so special in Montessori schooling? Is this adaptation from traditional teaching useful from the child’s point of view?
Here are 8 reasons to grow your child in a montessori
Montessori classroom:
Montessori classroom is a happy living room for children.
The classroom invites the child with bright and attractive colors and pictures
in the wall. They include furniture’s of child’s size, shelves and Montessori
materials. They are different places for each learning playing activities where
children are free to move around independently.
Montessori teacher:
It is hard to find out a Montessori teacher in a Montessori.
You will find her in the midst of children helping them learn from interactions
and experiences.
Freedom and Independence:
Do not mistake these two words as children have the freedom
to misbehave. In a Montessori children have the freedom of choice and
independence to learn on their own or pairs or in groups. The freedom within
limits show positive effects in children.
Experienced learning:
Education is not just focused on reading and writing.
Concepts are made to caught rather than taught. Children are made to perform
tasks through which they learn through their experience. This provides them an
exposure and encourages one’s creativity and imagination.
Focus on every student:
Unlike the traditional schools where one teacher to student
mass without any interaction, in a Montessori every student is focused
individually. Each child is given special care and attention helping them
develop their individual skills.
Other development skills:
As the activities are not just pointed towards reading and
writing, a Montessori student is promoted to both physical and mental
development. The materials used improve the child’s muscular movement,
development of sense organs and communication skills.
No grades, No punishments, No comparisons:
Montessori aims to respect every child uniquely. There is no
comparisons between students and no grade or marks which demotivate your child.
A child can learn depending upon the individual grasping and muscular power. The
mistakes are taken in a positive way asking them an helping hand to improve
their mistakes.
Social behavior:
Apart from learning activities Montessori also focuses on
social manners of a growing child. They are motivated and interacted to talk
politely, cleanliness, work on their own, good habits, sharing and an helping
hand to needy. These social behaviors are taught by children adult interactions
making it as a fun activity.
This is why your child enjoys going to a Montessori.
