Blog

At Alive Montessori School, we believe that learning goes beyond the classroom. Montessori education encourages children to explore, create, and grow in a hands-on, child-centered environment. We know many parents are eager to extend this philosophy at home, but might not know where to start. That’s why we are excited to launch our new blog series: Montessori Activities for Home.

At Alive Montessori, we are using the educational methodology developed by Maria Montessori because it has a proven track record of achieving much better results than other methods. For example, 3 and 4 year-olds typically learn to read and write and do simple math – skills normally expected two or three years later in the public school system.

There is a perception that as the Montessori approach encourages independent work cycles, children in a Montessori classroom do not interact with each other, thus resulting in a lack of social interaction which can have a negative impact upon the child’s development. Nevertheless, while Montessori does respect the fact that each child is unique and has different areas of interests, hence the children are allowed to choose their own materials and a classroom is not expected to have children who will do the same activity at the same time, there are different ways in which social interaction is met daily.
