What is the Montessori Method?
An introduction to the century-old, child-centred teaching method that Profenaa trains every educator to master.
Understanding the Montessori Method
The Montessori Method is a child-centred educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in the early 1900s. Rather than a teacher lecturing to a passive class, the Montessori Method places the child at the centre of learning — exploring specially designed materials at their own pace, in a carefully prepared environment.
Key Features of the Montessori Method
- Self-Directed Activity — children choose their own work from a range of purposeful activities.
- Hands-On Learning — concepts are learned through touch and movement, not rote memorisation.
- Mixed-Age Classrooms — children of different ages learn together, encouraging peer mentorship.
- Uninterrupted Work Periods — long blocks of time allow deep concentration and mastery.
- Trained Teacher as Guide — the teacher observes and gently guides rather than instructs directly.
