How
is Montessori applied in the classroom?
At Montessori Matters we recognise every child’s need to learn. This is enhanced through the principles of Montessori by way of active participation.
The teacher is there to direct your child, not to teach him; to encourage, never discourage. She offers direction to him when needed, allowing him the freedom within a prepared environment to learn, develop and grow. She starts by being active by presenting activities to each child and then gradually becomes passive as each child becomes more active in their learning.
At Montessori Matters we offer a structured programme in an open classroom environment, giving individualised education to each child. Each child will receive one-to-one tuition on a daily basis. Our teacher/child ratio of 1:7 ensures that your child’s development is closely monitored and followed up daily.
The school will fully satisfy the requirements of your child’s absorbent mind, his sensitive periods and his three stage learning process. The classroom is non-competitive; your child will choose his own work and will do it at his own pace. Whilst having defined structures, the classroom will allow flexibility and will be open to encourage full development of the whole child.
The Montessori environment will fully satisfy the requirements of your child’s developmental stages. They will explore the world through their senses and own activity. They will develop a love of learning.
