Because the natural ability to learn is a Human Trait!
The Classroom Photo says it all! The unique thing about Montessori is that it exercises children’s natural ability to “learn” or “teach themselves”. As humans we all have this power, but we are conditioned to believe that we need a “Teacher” to teach us stuff. In a Montessori Classroom Children complete tangible activities that they learn from. Math is something that is experienced, touched, felt, seen and therefore completely understood. Consider how different this is from the traditional memorization method.
In this classroom children learn to “learn by doing” by exercising their natural ability. It is necessary for children to start Montessori at a very young age. A Montessori teacher is a “Directress” who’s job is to guide, allow and assist the child's natural curiosity. Once children know how to “learn by doing” we never have to teach them anything again. We can just offer them productive “things to do”!
Montessori is the root of an engaging and productive society of people who “do things” and then “learn by doing” them! With a Montessori Education each human would be constantly productive and growing intellectually every day of their life.
It’s not too late! School has only just begun - look in to Montessori for your child and be the Change you want to see in the world!
