The Montessori educational method is based on the fact that infancy, the time from birth to six years of age, is the most important period for a child’s development. At that age, children absorb any impression from their surroundings like sponges (“absorbent mind”) and try hard to gain certain skills (“sensitive periods”). Children who are exposed to a suitable prepared environment at that age have the possibility to fully develop their skills.
Preschool children discover the world with their senses, so they show great interest in development on a physical, motor and language level. By exploring their world, children gain control over their bodies; they learn to be independent and organised while their personality is being formed. In this period, children also learn to respect, accept and listen to others while developing, at their own pace, the bases for academic and social skills.
