What is Montessori?
Child-initiated activities offer a wide range of opportunities for children to directly experience and manipulate new ideas and objects:

Choice making—The curriculum must offer children the opportunity to choose from a variety of activities throughout the day.

Creating—Activities encourage children to create their own ideas.

Interacting—Talking with other children and adults fosters a child's sense of self and self-esteem. Through conversation, children learn new words and learn to cooperate. Thus, language skills and a positive self-image are encouraged through conversation.

Discovering—Real experiences provide children with opportunities to exercise their curiosity and discuss events that are relevant to their everyday lives. Visiting grocery stores, farms, and hospitals; preparing snacks; and talking to police officers, firefighters, and janitors contribute to a child's understanding of the real world.
