In our Primary Montessori classroom, the “Daffodils,” highly trained teachers create a customized environment to promote “hands-on” learning.
In a prepared classroom, children work with specially designed manipulative materials that invite exploration and engage the senses in the process of learning.
All the activities in our classroom promote:
- Meaningful and challenging work at a child’s interest and ability level.
- Child-directed activities keep a child motivated, helps build focus, and encourages responsibility.
- Work at their own pace
What is a Montessori work cycle, and how does it work?
A Montessori work cycle lets the child direct what he/she wants to work with and, in turn, facilitates the development of coordination, concentration, and independence.
A Montessori work cycle is a three-step process.
- Selection of activity
- Working on it for as long it keeps their interest alive.
- Cleaning up the activity and returning it to the shelf and making another work choice.
“Dr. Maria Montessori believed (and modern science has affirmed) that moving and learning are inseparable.” American Montessori Society
