Maria Montessori and her pedagogy
Thanks to María Montessori, thousands of boys and girls from all over the world have been happy learning through a Pedagogy created to develop all their potential. The Montessori method is a type of educational method that involves children’s natural interests and activities rather than formal teaching methods. A Montessori classroom places an emphasis on hands-on learning and developing real-world skills.
1. ENVIRONMENT
Montessori encourages learning through exploration. Our prepared environment at Imagine, activates a love of learning through curiosity, stability and the freedom to choose.
Furniture is light and child-sized, learning materialres are designed to fit in children‘s hands and everything is designed to be open and accesible
2. life skills
Montesssori emphasizes daily tasks for skill-building. We involver our children in simple chores like pouring, sorting and cleaning.
These activities not only boost motor skills but also instill a sense of responsability and accomplishemnt.
3. INdependence
Montessori values independence in children. In order to attain this level in their development, children need a guide and an environment prepared in such a way as to facilitate the achievement of these goals.
We allow our little ones make choices within limits, to foster decision-making skills and self-confidence.
