🤔👶 What is Montessori? Well, it's an approach to learning founded by Dr. Maria Montessori 🌟

It's all about letting kids be independent learners through hands-on activities and play. As Maria herself said, "Play is the work of the child" 🎉

In Montessori, adults show RESPECT by nurturing each child's learning and letting them make choices 🌱 Teachers observe and guide, while also teaching kids to respect each other's "work" 💪

The environment is a highly valued in Montessori, too 🌿 Natural materials are used to engage children's senses and spark their curiosity. There are five key areas of learning: Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics, and Cultural Studies 📚

The Montessori approach even aligns with the EYFS (early years foundation stage profile) standards for learning and development 🙌 Mixed ages are valued so that older kids can help the younger ones and everyone can learn from each other 🧒👧 Remember, "the child has a mind able to absorb knowledge. He has the power to teach himself" 🤓 The Absorbent Mind

Are classes are every bit FUN but also educational 😃
