Why Montessori?
Why Montessori?
When parents first reach out to us, many have heard of Montessori education but don’t fully understand it. They often ask, “What exactly is Montessori?”, “Are all Montessori schools the same?”, “Why do children have so much freedom in your classrooms?”, and “How do the children stay so calm and focused?”
We love answering these questions because it gives us the chance to explain how Montessori, when executed carefully, can be a life-changing experience for children. Below, we highlight the key features of Little Elephant’s authentic Montessori program and what makes it unique.
In Montessori schools, children of different ages learn together in the same classroom. Older students can help the younger ones, and younger children can learn by watching and working with the older children. It is like having a big family in the classroom! Children make friends, learn from each other, and create a strong community. They also stay with the same teacher for several years. This helps the teacher develop a strong bond with each child and understand what they need to grow and learn. The teacher can then support each child in the best way, both with school and personal growth.
