It encourages the child to grow into a whole person by placing a strong emphasis on personal growth and individual achievement.
Children can choose from a variety of activities that are set up in a Montessori classroom and can participate in each activity for as little or as long as they like.
Even though learning is child-led, children require order and structure in order to succeed.
In the Montessori method, freedom is the single most crucial element for a child's growth.
Children are encouraged to follow their natural impulses by means of experiences, activities, and surroundings in the Montessori classroom.
Sensitive periods – According to the Montessori method, children go through sensitive phases when they are most susceptible to acquiring a new skill, like reading, writing, or counting.
Teachers place a strong emphasis on supporting students' social and emotional growth.
With Montessori, a lot of emphasis is placed on the development of the child's essential capacities throughout the first years of life, including the development of a strong character as well as intellectual capacity.
A child that is morally upright will be able to contribute favourably to society.
As a result of having the flexibility to develop on their own particular timeline, children are able to complete each developmental milestone as soon as they are prepared.
The Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum, which establishes standards for the learning, development, and care of your child from birth to age five, is used in conjunction with Montessori tools and techniques at Buttercups.
We have a wide variety of Montessori tools to engage, challenge, and help children of all ages and skill levels.
Our entire faculty has received training in implementing Montessori principles.
Because both emphasise the requirements of the individual child, strong relationships between teacher and learner, and a happy learning environment, Montessori complements the EYFS curriculum extremely well.
