While self-directed learning is the cornerstone of the Montessori philosophy, small group learning is also an important part of a child’s education. Montessori’s multi-age classrooms enable collaborative learning by allowing older and younger children to experience new material together, with older students acting as mentors to younger students. Teachers often present lessons to small groups, which allow the lesson to be targeted to the skill levels of individual children in the group. At Montessori Preschool Chatsworth, we use small group learning in the following areas to enhance the educational experience for our preschoolers.
Montessori daycare and primary school are a little different than traditional types of early education. To begin, Montessori is designed to function in 3-year mixed-age blocks, but more importantly, the Montessori Method is an excellent way to build confidence and positive social behaviors that will be beneficial as your child gets older. By instilling confidence at an early age, children are given the tools and abilities to play an active role at home and with other children.
