Exploring the Montessori 100 Board

Montessori math materials are renowned for their ability to transform abstract concepts into concrete learning experiences, and the 100 Board is no exception. A cornerstone of the Montessori math curriculum, the 100 Board introduces children to numerical order, patterns, and the base-10 system in an engaging, hands-on way.

Building Self-Confidence and Resilience Through Self-Competition

In Montessori education, we take a unique approach to motivation and competition. Rather than encouraging children to compete with one another, we focus on helping them strive to better themselves. This foundation of internal motivation and self-competition equips Montessori students with invaluable skills that prepare them for real-world challenges, including healthy competition.

The Power of Choice in Montessori

A common misconception about Montessori education is that children are left to do whatever they please, all the time. In reality, while Montessori students are encouraged to make choices and explore their interests, this freedom is guided by thoughtful boundaries and limitations that support independence, responsibility, and respect for others.

A Deep Dive Into How We Teach Handwriting

Children in Montessori schools often learn to write before they can read—an approach that strengthens their path to literacy in remarkable ways. In this article, we’ll explore why handwriting is so essential, how it’s taught in Montessori, and why this skill serves children as they progress into elementary school and beyond.

Unlocking Learning with Knobless Cylinders

Knobless Cylinders are a key material in the Montessori Sensorial curriculum, helping children refine their visual discrimination skills, develop coordination, and prepare for later mathematical concepts. In this article, we explore the significance of this material, how it fits into the Montessori preschool program, and why it’s an invaluable tool in fostering independence and learning.
