1. The Child
Montessori realized that children are all
different, needing the greatest individual
liberty to grow. Children are not
pressured to follow the pace of the
teachers or the other students. Instead,
they work directly with the materials,
competing only with themselves. Their
success becomes its own reward.

2. The Prepared Environment
Montessori believed that the classroom environment should facilitate maximum exploration and
independence by the child. In the peaceful and ordered classroom, children work on activities of
their own choice at their own pace. This gives them a sense of freedom and self-discipline
designed to meet their developmental needs.

Montessori Classroom
Maria Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 and became the first woman in the country to
earn her doctorate degree. After working with mentally-challenged children she developed a
system of education based on scientific observation and designed a system of materials that
would challenge and honor their growing capabilities
The Montessori Philosophy is based on the idea that every child has the innate urge to learn
and grow, which is facilitated through his interaction with his environment. The Montessori
materials found in the classroom are designed to be manipulated and experimented with,
promoting independence, concentration and creativity.

3. The Director
Montessori called the teacher in the classroom the "Director" because she directs the child's
activity in the environment. She is the vital link between the children and the environment,
presenting the materials so that they may perform them with the greatest chance for success.
The Director constantly aware of each child's goals and actively seeks ways for him to fulfill
them.

In the Montessori classroom colorful materials are attractively displayed on low shelves,
inviting children to work with them. The materials are self-correcting, and the children can
realize their error without assistance. The children are able to solve problems independently,
which builds self-confidence and analytical thinking.
