The central position of children
Montessori education firmly regards children as independent individuals and truly puts children's needs and characteristics first. This abandons the traditional adult-centered teaching concept and provides a more free and open learning environment for children.
Autonomy and guidance
Montessori's educational philosophy opposes the traditional spoon-feeding teaching and emphasizes children's active learning and self-construction. By providing a good learning environment and rich content, children can develop naturally in their daily lives and form a perfect personality.
Seize the sensitive period
Understanding and using the sensitive period of children aged 0-6 is the key to Montessori education. In this critical period, children will show certain preferences. Education along these sensitive periods can achieve the best learning effect.
The change of teacher's role
In Montessori education, the teacher is no longer a simple knowledge giver, but a guide. Teacher Montessori, also known as the enlightenment tutor, needs to have a deep understanding of children's spiritual world. They need to establish a relationship of trust and interaction with their children and guide them to learn and explore independently.
