Montessori education is a child-centered approach to learning developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. It emphasizes hands-on, experiential learning, allowing children to explore and discover at their own pace. Classrooms are designed with various learning materials that encourage independence, creativity, and critical thinking. In a Montessori classroom, children of different ages learn together, fostering collaboration and social skills. Teachers act as guides rather than traditional instructors, observing and supporting each child's individual learning journey. This method aims to cultivate a lifelong love of learning and respect for oneself and others.
