About Montessori Curriculum
The Montessori method of education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori is a child centered education approach based on scientific observations of the children. Montessori pedagogy supports the development of childrens’ giftedness, creativity , self-learning which leads them to be independent.
The children undergo four level Montessori programs:
- Pre-primary
- Lower Elementary
- Upper Elementary
- Erdkinder
Here, the children are allowed to explore, experiment and learn by themselves. Their ability, progress and creativity are observed by adults . This way, toddlers build their confidence, ability and stature.
The learning is child centered and the classroom atmosphere teaches them order and inspires creativity.
It is observed that children who self-learn are also self- disciplined and end up being more competitive, more peaceful and lead a stress free life.
