The Montessori Work Period
Consider, as an adult, what it takes for you to do your best work. What must your environment look like? What do you need from others? What constraints do you need removed in order to meet your goals?
Material Highlight: Dressing Frames
So much of what we do in our Montessori environments is with the goal of the child’s independence in mind. They may need our support sometimes, but children are capable of much more than many people realize.
Why Purposeful Movement Is So Important
In Montessori, we honor children’s movement, even from birth! One reason why we focus so much on movement for young children is that healthy movement development in the first two years of life can provide our children with considerable benefits in the years to come.
From Independence to Interdependence
In Montessori, we talk a lot about independence. However, one of the lesser known or understood aspects of Montessori is that independence isn’t the end goal.
What is Practical Life?
When you visit a Montessori school, you’ll likely hear the phrase “practical life.” We thought it might be helpful to provide a little more context so we can share why practical life is so important to what we do.
Learning Begins at Home
Using Montessori methods at home can be a terrific way to create a productive learning environment for your infant before school starts. Here are some pointers to help you and your child feel comfortable with — and prepared for — this transition.
Learning Math The Montessori Way
The Montessori method teaches math to students in a way that keeps them engaged and helps them grasp its importance. They learn mathematical skills through the five senses in the sensorial section of a Montessori classroom where they acquire their first experience with numbers through shapes.
Learning to Read Through Montessori
Reading and writing are both quite difficult. At Pearlily Montessori, your three-year-old will learn how to do it before Kindergarten! This a quick snapshot of some of the lessons and materials your child will be using based on the Montessori curriculum.
