About the Provider

Description: The philosophy of the Montessori education originated in educational approach and teaching of an Italian educator and physician, Maria Montessori. She focused on the development of human in all stages of their childhood. She also focused on the important responsibility of childhood when it comes to their formation towards becoming an adult. For Maria Montessori, education serves as an integral part of child’s development.

Philosophy of Montessori educations follows several educational concepts and approaches in order to assure that children who are enrolled in this type of education will be given proper care and attention while studying. To give you an idea to some of the important concepts highlighted in the Montessori educations, here are the lists of some of the concepts that the philosophy of Montessori education and these are as follows.

Ø It is based in the concept that children are marked differently compared to adults. Maria Montessori advocated some important rights of children and greatly believed that these children will be respected and clearly understood, and it will be an amazing world for them towards becoming better adults.

Ø Montessori philosophy also downplays the performance evaluations with huge quantity of letters and numbers where children are exposed to.

Ø Children should be capable to get hold of self directed learning approaches through saying what they learn rather than waiting for their teachers to teach them.

Ø The teacher who is going to teach Montessori education teachings and methods should always be an observer and facilitator to all the children. They need to facilitate and observe better ways for children to direct their own learning. The growth and development of student and teacher dynamic relationship can assist them in helping themselves and each other to become better person and learn positive values, attitudes, and learning they need for their future.

Ø Most of the children are susceptible to some sensitive periods which are commonly referred to as their intellectual growth. This period should always be properly used and understood since it provides essential benefits to children when given proper time and attention. If this period will be left ignored, there might be a big loss in the learning outcome of the children. That is why, Montessori education teachers need to spare time and attention understanding each stages of children’s life in order to get hold of best educational results.

Both the children and the teachers in the Montessori education plays an important role in helping each other to acquire new learning concept, ideas and philosophy that could help them for a better future. It is very important to know that not all schools are of the same philosophy as what Montessori education does. The name of Montessori education is really a trademark that is very unique and obliquely different from other types of school.

With the philosophy highlighted in this Montessori education, there are already huge numbers of schools as of today who are sparing time and effort to adopt the same philosophy they are implementing. This is due to the fact that the philosophy of the Montessori education really marks the life of every child in the world that really provides them not only educational learning, but more of experiences that develops their wellbeing as early as their age.
