The Montessori method of teaching young children has

 

changed very little since Maria Montessori came up with

 

her theories and developed her material's nearly 100

 

year's ago.

 

Montessori changed the way young children would be

 

educated forever.  Children really are amazing, they are

 

like sponges and take everything in, the more children

 

learn the more they want to learn.  They love to repeat

 

exercises, every time they do they learn something new

 

and they also develop their concentration.  In the

 

montessori classroom there is only one of each exercise,

 

so children also learn about having patience and taking

 

turns.

 

There are montessori schools all over the world, and

 

although the children from different countries and

 

continents may learn some things differently, if they're

 

culturally specific and of course languages.  The

 

montessori materials are the same worldwide as are the

 

philosophies and methods.

 

Maria Montessori respected children and treated them

 

with respect.  Her theories and philosophies came about

 

through all her years of observing children.

 

Montessori saw the child as a whole

 

with parts, so she aimed to meets all of the needs of

 

each individual child, their emotional, physical,

 

intellectual and spiritual needs.

 

In Montessori children learn an amazing amount of new

 

things.  They learn about everyday things in practical life,

 

so they can take care of themselves and their

 

environment.  In sensorial they learn through isolated

 

senses, so each sense is refined.  They also learn about

 

history, geography and science, on a broad sense.

 

Nature, which Montessori said should not just be taught

 

to children but should be experienced by them.  They also

 

learn about, maths, language, botany and zoology.

 

.“Whoever touches the life of the child, touches the most sensitive point of a whole which has roots in the most distant past and climbs towards the infinite future.” Maria Montessori
