The basic principles of Montessori education law:.
1, child-centered. Oppose the adult-centered teaching concept and regard children as independent individuals different from adults.

3. Grasp the sensitive period of children. Follow the characteristics of sensitive learning and get the maximum learning effect.

5. Cultivation of complete personality. The biggest purpose of preschool education is to help children normalize.
6. Respect the growth rhythm of children. There is no timetable and class time, so that children can concentrate on developing their inner needs.
7. Mixed-age teaching. Children of different ages will imitate and learn from each other, and develop good social behavior of helping others.
8. Rich teaching materials and teaching AIDS. Teaching AIDS are the material for children's work, and children build a perfect personality through "work" and self-repetitive operation exercises.
9. Eliminate the reward and punishment system. Take the way of respecting children and cultivate their budding sense of dignity.

In the implementation of Montessori education, there are two things that adults must be vigilant at all times:
(1) release children
"Freedom" is the basic principle of Montessori's "science pedagogy".
Montessori believes that compulsory "teaching" is harmful to children, especially preschool children. Unless the children's minds are liberated, the development of these ethnic seedlings will not be sound.
Montessori believes that "freedom" is a basic human right that everyone is born with. However, the freedom of Montessori education is not laissez-faire or arbitrary. In Montessori class, children are not allowed to do "anything he likes". He can only freely choose useful and useful jobs. In other words, "freedom is not doing what you want to do, but doing the right thing."
(2) Let the children do it themselves.
Every time Montessori gives a speech, he always puts forward such a sentence: "Help me do it myself" (children are shouting: Please help me, let me do it myself). Parents usually take care of their children and help them do everything well. The seemingly parental love actually kills many children's opportunities for self-growth. In fact, learning to walk is the beginning of trying to be "independent".
