The Montessori Method has been known to work well with students of diverse cultures all over the world for more than 100 years. The methodology itself is based on the study and observation of children aged 2.5 to 6, making it more relevant to them than conventional methods of teaching. The Montessori classroom provides freedom to the child within limits, and enhances their confidence and calm behaviour. It also builds self-dependence and self-reliance in the child’s mind since they are encouraged to ask questions and are instantly taught how to perform tasks they might have been having trouble with.
Montessori children adjust very well into the conventional school. Children close to completion of the Montessori curriculum are introduced to the table and chair environment (transition class room). Historically, there haven’t been any problems faced by the child in entering a conventional school after Montessori.
The mixed age group system allows the older children to act as mentors to the younger children. This provides confidence to the older children as they reinforce their learnings while teaching the younger ones and provides the younger children support and confidence in learning new things. The system also encourages a family structure, making the child feel safer and therefore less afraid to experiment.
Children who have been in the Montessori system in the younger years are seen to be sharp and quick learners throughout their life. They always carry a positive attitude towards learning new things.
The Montessori Method can be reinforced at home to assist faster growth and development of the child. “Exercises of practical life” such as cleaning, gardening, cooking and placing the right thing in the right place should all be encouraged at home. These activities involve the child in the household and strengthen the values taught at school.
