Montessori for me is a way of life.
It was originally developed as an educational approach by Dr. Maria Montessori based on the objective and scientific observation of children in her care.
It is also a method, philosophy, type of school, an approach to parenting.
It can be universally applied to all children, and adapted to various cultures and ways of living.
Some of the key principles of the Montessori method include:
- Respect for the child
- A prepared environment
- Sensitive periods
- Absorbent mind
- Freedom and limits
- Independence and responsibility
- Observation
- Following the child
Through this blog, I hope to unpack and explore more of these principles including how we implement them at home and beyond!
