Characteristics of children: The development of children at this stage is accompanied by a sensitive period of movement (0-65438+August) and a sensitive period of language (0-6 years old). Children at this stage like to grasp and touch, and complete the process from turning over to crawling, standing to walking. Began a journey of exploring the world independently.
Environment creation:
Among the many complete environments in Montessori, the first one is NIDO, which means "Bird's Nest" in Italian. Refer to the maternal uterine environment, comfortable, quiet and constant temperature. Because of its diet structure, it can't live without its mother, so NIDO is a safe parent-child environment. With the development of baby's sports ability, he has a stronger desire to explore the surrounding environment, and chairs and other assistive devices in NIDO environment must be stable and heavy; The ground is soft and hard, suitable for crawling and toddler; Materials within children's reach are safe and free from hidden dangers;
NIDO also provides step-by-step sensory guidance for newborns. Taste (complementary food), hearing (music environment), vision (tracking things), touch (hand-eye coordination), seabed balance and other multi-sensory environments promote sensory integration.
Curriculum design concept:
NIDO is the first environment in which babies and mothers begin to adapt to independence after separation. The curriculum design takes into account the physiological and psychological characteristics of newborns. Physiologically, you need a lot of physical exercise and sensory stimulation to prepare for walking independently and exploring the world, and you also need breastfeeding; Psychologically, I need my mother's care and comfort, so NIDO is a parent-child class.
IC Children's Home (1-2 years old):
Children's characteristics: children's large-scale sports develop rapidly, with fine movements and good physical fitness at this stage. You can squat down and stand up again, have early signs of running, and like to climb stairs; Actively cooperate with dressing, know how to say goodbye and welcome, have self-awareness, express strong self-will, and don't do it when necessary; It can improve the ability to understand and control the language, can be called a simple name, and can associate the corresponding actions with the instructions issued by close people; Have the ability to doodle with a pen.
Environment creation:
IC Children's Home, as the second environment of Montessori, maintains the style of NIDO-taking children as the center, reducing the familiar daily environment in proportion, allowing children to find their own relationship with the environment, and facilitating children's independent choice and self-construction.
With the rapid development of large-scale sports, fine movements and physical fitness, children's curiosity and exploration ability are directly proportional at this stage. Because their cognitive ability needs to be further improved, fragile and sharp objects in the environment should be placed safely, and the weight of movable objects such as tables and chairs should be based on the convenience of children (children should move tables and chairs according to their own needs, so they should not be overweight);
One of the most important areas of IC Children's Home: the daily living area, through rich daily operations, learn to take care of yourself and the environment, so as to realize self-construction. Another important field of IC is that it provides a richer sensory experience than NIDO, and rich sensory teaching AIDS will bring more sensory stimulation to children.
Instructor requirements:

2, respect and care for children, keen observation to find the sensitive needs of children;
3. Be the coordinator of children and teaching AIDS, and be willing to operate;
4. Observe and record children's performance in operation, so as to adjust the environment in time to meet the needs of children in sensitive period.
Teaching aid requirements:
1, referring to children's real life, let children continue to operate from extension to life and gain a rich sense of accomplishment;
2. Teaching has "error control", which allows children to correct themselves in the process of operation;
3. The intervention of teaching AIDS should follow the order from simple to complex, from concrete to abstract;
4. Teaching AIDS should be taken from left to right and from top to bottom;
5. Teaching AIDS should be attractive in order to increase children's "work cycle" and cultivate children's concentration.
Curriculum design concept:
Take children as the center and respect children; Grasping the sensitive period of children at this stage and setting the environment in a targeted way, Montessori's idea is to use the environment to complete the education of "not teaching". Casa Children's Home (2-4 years old):
Characteristics of children: at this stage, children have mastered walking, standing, running, jumping, squatting, rolling, climbing and crossing obstacles, with rich exploration methods and strong desire; At this stage, children have basically mastered the oral expression of their mother tongue, and they also like to create some wonderful words, listen to stories and simply repeat stories; Start looking for partners, turn your attention to children of the same age around you, try to actively establish friendship, share toys and other social activities; Initially establish abstract concepts.
Environment creation:
Children's Home serves children aged 2 /4 to 6, from self-care to environmental care. Through the stimulation of visual, tactile, auditory, olfactory and taste teaching AIDS, it is transmitted to the brain, and then to the senses from the brain, which is the basis for children to generate consciousness, develop concepts, thinking and understanding, and establish intelligence. Make children's sensitivity more agile, accurate and fine.
Children's Home's environmental creation includes daily life, language, senses, mathematics, nature and humanities.
Entering CASA is the beginning of children's true independence. Children gain the most valuable concentration, self-confidence, independence, self-expression and choice in the process of work. Of course, classes in the park can better support children to enter kindergartens and primary schools with social group life in the next stage.
