The difference between eyfs and Montessori
EYFS: the educational framework of early childhood education in Britain. In September 2008, the British government officially issued the legal document "EYFS Framework for Early Childhood Education", which stipulated the requirements that all early childhood education institutions in England and Wales should meet in caring for children, learning and development. It stipulates the teaching principles, methods, learning areas and teaching objectives, and is a course.

Montessori: It is a set of teaching materials, teaching AIDS and methods formulated by maria montessori, a famous Italian preschool educator and female doctor of medicine. It systematically carried out educational experiments and finally formed a set of systematic teaching methods. For example, sensory training, free exploration and discovery, environmental stimulation and other methods to promote personality and intellectual development, including all children. This is a teaching method.

Whether it is Montessori education, Reggio education, Waldorf education or EYFS, it is a beautiful educational idea to help children get better development and gradually help them achieve their educational goals through a series of methods. It is worth noting that EYFS, like a racetrack, stipulates children's learning goals, learning contents and evaluation forms, but does not stipulate how children can achieve these learning goals. Therefore, even kindergartens in EYFS can use the teaching methods of Montessori, Reggio or Waldorf to help children achieve the final 17 learning goal.
