The Goal of Early Childhood Education should be to Activate the Child's own Natural Desire to Learn


Maria Montessori

What is Montessori?

Montessori is a child-centred approach to education that nurtures independence, confidence, and a genuine love for learning. It recognises that every child learns differently and provides an environment where learners are encouraged to explore, question, and grow at their own pace.


A key feature of Montessori education is hands-on learning. Instead of passive learning, children work with carefully designed materials that allow them to physically explore academic concepts. This practical approach helps learners truly understand what they are learning, rather than memorising information.


Montessori classrooms also use mixed-age groupings, which create a natural learning community. Younger learners benefit from observing and learning alongside older peers, while older learners develop leadership, responsibility, and empathy by guiding others. This mirrors real-world social environments and strengthens interpersonal skills.


Another core principle is personalised attention. Teachers carefully observe each learner and provide guidance tailored to their individual needs. Children are supported at their own level, allowing them to build confidence and progress without unnecessary pressure or comparison.


Overall, Montessori education aims to develop capable, self-motivated learners who are prepared academically, socially, and emotionally.
