Many parents wonder about the true meaning behind Montessori schools. They are curious as to how the program is different from mainstream programs and where the money they pay is going to educate their children. To break it down simply several key factors regarding the Montessori program include but are not limited to allow the children freedom (within guided options) to choose their own activities and guide their own play. The stimulation for the child includes all 5 senses in a multitude of ways and also geared towards hands-on learning for children. The learning activities put into place are repeatable throughout different days allowing children to master the tasks via concentration and attention to detail. Overall independence is the key for Montessori children.
