🌱 What is Montessori?

Montessori: a natural way to support child development

The Montessori method helps children explore the world at their own pace, develop independence, and build self-confidence from an early age.


🧠 What does Montessori mean?

Montessori is an educational approach created by physician Maria Montessori, which focuses on the natural development of the child.

A child learns through their own experiences, play, and discovery – not through coercion, but through natural motivation.

  • learning through play and experience

  • respect for the child's individual pace
