The Montessori method is built on the child's natural love of learning and instills a life long motivation for continuous learning.The first differences visitors in a Montessori classroom note are:
1) Unique classroom environment - there are no desks for teachers or students, but tables and chairs with shelves carefully filled with specially developed materials. Children learn best by doing not hearing.
2) Children are of mixed ages working throughout the classroom individually or in small groups each benefiting from the wide range of learning opportunities.
3) All activity is purposeful - maintaining a sensible balance between freedom and structure.
