Dr. Maria Montessori had a unique insight into the learning needs and requirements of children. Her vision is implemented in the style of teaching that is implemented the Montessori School in Carrollton.

If you are considering sending your child to a Montessori school then you should know a little about the approach that the schools use and why it is different to other schools. Dr. Montessori believed that if a child is provided with the right environment and experiences, he or she is capable of achieving anything.

The school uses different learning frameworks than that you may see in regular schools. This method is known as the Montessori Method’ as is strictly followed by the school in Carrollton.

The school uses different learning tools and mechanisms to enhance the child’s development. Dr. Montessori devised these tools after many years of scientific study and observation of how children develop and learn.

Children learn differently and progress at a different rate from each other. They generally follow the same stages but at their own pace. To help achieve their best, the learning in a Montessori school implements methods that take this into account to give a more individualized learning plan for each child.

The classrooms in the schools that follow the Montessori method of learning keep that in mind and the basic design of the classroom reflects this idea. There are specialized learning materials that are not normally found in other schools or day-care centers. Children are encouraged to self-discipline and self-direct through exploration. This helps them create their own body of knowledge at a pace that is individual to them.

The teachers, known as Guides, are always there to guide and encourage the child’s learning. This approach develops independent thought in the children from a very young age.

In most schools, the classes are held in large groups where all the children are taught at the same time. The teacher is in charge of choosing what topic to present. This method of teaching does not take into account the individual needs of children and their varying interests. At Montessori schools, the topics of interest are decided by the children themselves and guided through by the teachers.

Montessori schools provide the children to learn all the rudimentary concepts of arithmetic and alphabets. It is an integrated and complete approach to a child’s development that has proven to be very successful. [I:http://www.rosewing.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/KellyMayberry0.jpg]
