A sensitive period is a stage of learning, especially in the first five, six years of life, when it is very easy for children to learn concepts, ideas, skills, attitudes, and behaviour. These could be learned later in life but never fully, as according to Maria Montessori this could only be achieved during the sensitive periods; hence, the importance to observe the children and to identify areas where we could support them and guide them in order to develop their maximum potential. 

People often wonder how a Montessori classroom is different from a traditional one. Truth is, there are many differences that have a great impact on a child’s development, and we will try to explain them in this two part article. 

Culture activities are an integral part of the Montessori curriculum, as they help children develop an understanding and appreciation of the world around them. Culture activities in Montessori cover a wide range of subjects, including history, geography, science, art, music, and literature. 

The Montessori approach to culture activities is designed to help children develop a sense of curiosity and wonder about the world, encouraging them to explore and discover new things.
