The Montessori method of education enables children to develop creativity and learning abilities.
It also allows children to build a sense of independence and inner discipline.
This method serves as a guide for learning proper phonetic reading, writing, grammar usage, mathematics, geography, and more.
One of Maria Montessori's (the founder of Montessori education) goals was to teach children how to concentrate.
This is an important skill for learning. This skill is largely ignored in the traditional school system.
A Montessori day is structured so that a child's focus is never interrupted by having to move to the next lesson before finishing the current one.
