Montessori education is fundamentally a model of human 

development, and an educational approach based on that model. The

model has two basic principles. First, children and developing adults
engage in psychological self-construction by means of
interaction with their environments. Second, children, especially
under the age of six, have an innate path of psychological
development. Based on her observations, Montessori believed that
children at liberty to choose and act freely within an
environment prepared according to her model would act
spontaneously for optimal development. Montessori's education
method called for free activity within a "prepared environment",
meaning an educational environment tailored to basic human
characteristics, to the specific characteristics of children at different
ages, and to the individual personalities of each child.
The principles and concepts of Montessori theory;

1. Independence Never help a child with a task at which he feels he can succeed.”

2. Observation Observation, or watching the child is for parents easy to do.

3. Following The Child Follow the child, they will show you what they need to do, what
they need to develop in themselves and what area they need to be challenged in.

4. Correcting The Child Children make mistakes. They may spill something, drop food
unintentionally and so on. There is no need to raise your voice in situations like those.
Instead, calmly recognize the mistake
5. Prepared Environment “The teacher's first duty is to watch over the environment,
and this takes precedence over all the rest. It's influence is indirect, but unless it be
well done there will be no effective and permanent results of any kind, physical,
intellectual or spiritual.”
6. Absorbent Mind Montessori observed how children learned the language without
anyone teaching them. This sparked her idea for the “absorbent mind"
Montessori system of education is both a philosophy of child development and a rationale for guiding such growth. It is based on two important
developmental needs of children:
1. The need for freedom w within limits
2. A carefully prepared environment which guarantees exposure to materials and experiences. Through these developmental needs, the child
develops intelligence as well as physical and psychological abilities. The Montessori Method of education is designed

What is the Montessori Method of Education: This system of education is both a philosophy
of child development and a
rationale for guiding such growth. It is based on two important developmental needs of
children:
1. The need for freedom within limits
2. A carefully prepared environment which guarantees exposure to materials and
experiences. Through these developmental needs, the child develops intelligence as well as
physical and psychological abilities. The Montessori Method of education is designed to
take full advantage of the children's desire to learn and their unique ability to develop their
own capabilities. Children need adults to expose them to the possibilities of their lives, but
the children must determine their response to all the possibilities. The main premises of
Montessori education are: Children are to be respected as different from adults and as
individuals who differ from each other.
. Children possess an unusual sensitivity and intellectual ability to absorb and learn from
their environment that are unlike those of the adult both in quality and capacity. The most
important years of children's growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning
is gradually brought to the conscious level. Children have a deep love and need for
purposeful work. They work, however,
not as an adult for the completion of a job, but the sake of an activity itself. It is this activity
which enables them to accomplish their most important goal: the development of their
individual selves - their mental, physical and psychological powers.

Montessori classroom
Many classrooms have an area devoted to peace and reflection: a
quiet corner or table with well-chosen items—a vase of daisies;
a goldfish bowl—to lead a child to meditative thought. And always there are places to
curl up with books, where a student can read or be read to. Each classroom is
uniquely suited to the needs of its students. Preschool rooms feature low sinks,
chairs, and tables; a reading corner with a small couch (or comfy floor cushions);
reachable shelves; and child-sized kitchen tools—elements that allow independence
and help develop small motor skills. In upper-level classrooms you’re likely to see
large tables for group work, computers, interactive whiteboards, and areas for
science labs.
Above all, each classroom is warm, well-organized, and inviting, with couches, rugs,
and flowers to help children and youth feel calm and at home
