What is Montessori education law?
Montessori education method is an excellent educational model based on scientific methods to educate children for all-round development and develop their potential. Its main characteristics are: respecting the rhythm of children's learning and growth, grasping the sensitive period of children, that is, children aged 0- 6 will have specific preferences in a specific period, and if they follow the sensitive period, they will get the greatest learning effect. Based on the above findings, Montessori proposed that teachers should teach students in accordance with their aptitude and not engage in "one size fits all" education. Montessori also opposed the adult-centered teaching concept and attached importance to children as independent individuals different from adults. At the same time, Montessori advocates that education should start with daily life training, with a good learning environment and rich educational content, let children learn spontaneously and construct their perfect personality. Because every child is special, Montessori education understands that their learning and growth processes are different, so it respects children's internal needs, allows children to grow up in a timely and moderate manner, and shows their internal mental development level through classroom activities and intensive education.

Montessori attaches great importance to the environment. She said: "In our school, the environment educates children." It is considered that the environment is an important conservation content, and many aspects of conservation methods are also determined by the environment. Children need a suitable environment to develop normally and perfect their personality. Generally speaking, however, most children live in unsuitable environment. Children are naturally close to nature, but with the development of civilization, nature is getting farther and farther away from children. They live in an adult world, and everything around them is not completely suitable for them in terms of specifications, weight and shape, so it is difficult to operate at will. The purpose of "preparing the environment" is to let the children in the embryonic state grow up smoothly, so as to prepare the environment for spiritual food such as order and wisdom. For children before the age of six, the environment in which adults and children live is very different in size and rhythm, so children need to rely on the assistance of adults at all times in their activities. Children have always relied on the assistance of adults, unable to complete their due growth, unable to control their own lives, unable to educate themselves and unable to exercise themselves. If there is no ideal environment, children can't realize their abilities, so they can never be independent from adults. Therefore, according to the sensitive period and mental absorption of children before the age of six, Montessori created an environment for children to live by themselves. This environment is a "prepared environment", and its significance is not only the environment, but also the way and method of the future world and culture that children will face.
