The Montessori system is a primarily student driven learning system where teachers are facilitators and guides who channel children’s natural curiosity and energy towards activities and games that help them acquire fundamental skills and knowledge. Since this process of learning is very different from the traditional methods of teaching, parents are usually requested to refrain from teaching their children at home as it may disrupt their learning process
The Montessori system, as we have mentioned before is a child focused, self-driven learning process. Learning in the Montessori process is a natural process which uses the child’s inherent curiosity and personal interests to engage in activities that stimulate learning. The Montessori method does not believe in exerting any outside pressures upon the children to learn. Nor is there an artificial structure to the learning process that the child is expected to follow.
Early childhood development is usually divided into specific domains. These are motor development, language development, cognitive development and social and emotional development. The Montessori system encourages children to participate in activities that ensure their growth in every domain used to measure child development. Every activity and technique that is a part of the Montessori learning process contributes to the development of several of these domains.
