Casa dei Bambini
The "Casa dei Bambini," or "Children's House," is a type of educational environment designed for young children, typically aged 3 to 6 years. Founded by Maria Montessori, it emphasizes child-led learning and independence. The classrooms are equipped with specially designed materials that encourage exploration and hands-on activities, allowing children to learn at their own pace.
In a Casa dei Bambini, teachers act as guides rather than traditional instructors. They observe and support each child's interests and developmental needs. This approach fosters a love for learning and helps children develop essential skills, such as problem-solving and social interaction, in a nurturing setting.
