Music
There is no better teaching tool than music. Research shows that playing music helps children calm down, remember lessons better, and absorb math concepts faster. The Montessori teaching method recognizes the amazing benefits of music in the classroom and is designed to incorporate musical moments as often as possible. Your child will come home singing not just songs praising the school but actual songs. Music is used strategically to enhance your child's educational experience.
Art
Besides music, there is no better way for children to learn about the world around them than through art. This method incorporates art by showing actual famous works of art and exploring different colors, motifs, and emotions. The children then have the opportunity to design something themselves. Involving your child in art stimulates the visual sense, stimulates creativity, and supports tactile development. Your child will have many opportunities to learn, appreciate, and, most importantly, create art.
Hands-on Activities
Schools that use this teaching method keep children moving and involved in exploratory projects. This is a method of conducting classes through experiential learning rather than classroom lectures. Activities such as field trips, art projects, and observational moments can help your child better understand and internalize important concepts. These different activities are designed to help each child in the class reach their own ability and level. Activities like this give children the opportunity to work on the same project while moving at their own pace. It can also promote children's learning at all levels.
These are just some of the basics of this unique and exciting pedagogy. They all work together to create a truly wonderful learning environment. Basically, in a Montessori kindergarten, you can expect your child to love learning. These early positive experiences ignite your child's curiosity and problem-solving skills, and great things can come from them.
