Montessori education is an approach to life which continues when the school day is over. To get the best results, Montessori techniques should be incorporated into your home life as well. Not only will this encourage your children to be more active and inquisitive, but it will also help them learn and become more self-confident. Child Sizing
Children pay more attention to things which are at eye level and are more likely to use furniture that is a good fit for their small bodies. Dedicate a portion of the home to your children’s perspective, including things like photos hanging at their level, a small-sized bookcase, or at the very least, the lower shelves of a full sized one, and a table/chair combination. Learning Baskets You can make baskets with various themed learning activities to keep your child active. Simple motor skill toys, musical items, and cultural examples make excellent learning baskets, but you should tailor the ones you make to your child’s interests and preferences. Providing children with the freedom to move from one activity to another encourages independence and self-control. Love Nature Get outside. Go to parks, zoos, aquariums, or just the backyard. Discover the diversity of life which surrounds us and how each living thing plays a part in the circle of life. Learn about different kinds of plants, build an ant farm in a soda bottle, or grow a flower or vegetable garden. Most importantly, do it with your children, because you are the first place your child looks for examples and instruction. If you have questions about incorporating the Montessori Method into your home routine, contact the teachers and staff at Mission Valley Montessori.
