Hence the aim of the teacher is to contain the surroundings and not the child. Studies have shown that children who are allowed to interact with their environment built up an innate self-discipline, love for order and raw curiosity.
The Montessori technique of teaching is particularly suitable to the preschooler who wishes to do everything by himself. Looking for ways in which your kid can take part in the cleaning, gardening, washing, cooking, and other ‘grownup’ activities arranges the perfect background for the learning experience. By catering such opportunities for independence, the child’s self-regard also gets a large boost.
Cultural, artistic and scientific activities abound in the Montessori thirty to six class. There’s no junk food, TV or computer. Material is picked out carefully. The child is never forced to work. Rather he is encouraged to do things that matter to him, and the teacher picks up the teaching from cues presented by the child. The Montessori process centers on the child’s inborn ability to learn from his environment. Hence the teacher aims to promote the natural curiosity of the child. He is never coerced to learn or explore. When the child realizes why he needs to learn something, he will like the learning process.
