Montessori & STEAM

What is Montessori approach?

Unlike traditional approach to schooling, Montessori class rooms are centered around the child. Teachers provide a prepared environment enabling children to learn at their own pace. Montessori education emphasizes self discipline, logical thinking, order and leadership skills in children.

Principles of Montessori approach:

  • Concrete materials in a Montessori class room enable children to learn with their senses.
  • Each child has his/her own individual lesson plan. The teacher will prepare the lesson plan according to the needs of each unique child.
  •  Problem solving and logical thinking skills are built into Montessori materials.
  • In a Montessori classroom children learn concepts not through mere memorization, but through engaging and immersive hands on activities.
