As soon as a child is born, the sensory organs begin to perceive and absorb the information of the surrounding environment. Children have basic sensory abilities such as sight, taste, smell, touch and hearing. These sensory abilities determine that children can rely on these abilities to accept information in the environment. Therefore, Montessori believes that education should start from birth.
An attractive mind
Children have a natural ability to absorb, and they can rely on their sensory ability to receive information in the environment.
Sensitive period
Montessori found that there are also sensitive periods in the process of children's growth. Before the age of 3, it is mainly a period of order, language, action, feeling and sensitivity to small things.
