Hands-On Learning

Dr. Maria Montessori is often quoted as saying, ``What the hand does, the mind remembers``

Hands-on learning is a key principle of the Montessori approach to education, which is based on the belief that children learn best by exploring new concepts through their senses

The Montessori Method

Self-Direction

In the Montessori philosophy of education, children are valued as a whole.

Children are viewed as individuals capable of self-directed learning due to their natural and instinctive inquisition. The environment promotes this through multi-age groupings, uninterrupted work periods, and free choice.

Collaborative Play

Collaborative play is a key component of Montessori education, which is based on self-directed activities, hands-on learning and play.

Collaborative play is an important part of children's development, helping to nurture social skills, communication abilities, and problem-solving skills. It also allows children to learn to respect each other's ideas and opinions.
