The main purpose of this approach is to encourage each child to develop his full potential in a suitable environment that combines all the child's needs and interests.
The Montessori program offers a quality approach to a child that encourages curiosity, creativity, work, love, and desire for learning, by respecting the child's need for movement and freedom.
Work organization in the Montessori environment is partly based on the observation of sensitive periods of each child, whose main elements are the particularity of this program:
- Sensitive period for order –order in their environment helps the child to establish their internal order, which helps in his understanding of the world around him, developing security and self-confidence
- Sensitive period for movement - Organization of space, materials, activities must encourage the child's natural need for movement;
- Sensitive period for small objects – the child is “little man” and researching the small objects around him seeks to build awareness of the world around him
- Sensitive period for language – in these period a child can simply adopt more languages – that’s the reason why the English language is one of the work languages
- Sensitive Period For Refinement Of The Senses - these perios is characterized with the child’s fascination with sensorial experiences results in the child learning to observe and make increasingly refined sensorial distinction.
