What is Montessori?

Montessori education is an approach to early childhood learning based on the Montessori method, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. It reflects how children naturally explore, learn, and make sense of the world around them.

In a Montessori classroom, children work with hands-on materials and choose activities that match their stage of development. Teachers guide and observe, allowing each child to build skills, understanding, and confidence at their own pace.
