The Daily Montessori website attempts to give suggestions to Montessori teachers and provide tips for parents with children 0 - 3 years of age to be able to implement Montessori education at home environment, the place where majority of the first years of the child’s life is spent. Montessori is a way of life that is not only found in Montessori schools but can also be implemented at home in small ways that will be effective for the education and growth of your child. It can be implemented at home on a daily basis as most of it involves just a common sense. We do not need to treat a child any differently as we would another human being. As these child-centered principles become more main stream it is easily more accepted by society.
This site will go into the different age groups, up to the age of 3 years, as the development of each child changes. The Montessori environment for the child changes as well. The age groups are in small increments so as to be specific to what each child from every age group needs. There is a governing principle of Montessori that applies to all children but this is segmented to address each need of the child. It is interesting to note that as Maria Montessori studied and observed children, she developed a system of education and later on the way to live humanely as human beings as true humanity can also be seen purely in a young child.No one can emphasize enough the importance of children brain development in early childhood education.
Today’s developing technology and research have allowed us to learn more about the brain, how it works and the sensitive periods for its development. These are the suggestions for the home following the Theory of Montessori. In parenting one has to be true to himself and hopefully after things are explained to you, you will embrace the philosophy of Montessori as your parenting style. Some of the ideas here may seem unreasonable for some, some are great ideas. We just hope that the suggestions would help you in some way. If there are still issues that you would wish to discuss, do not hesitate to email us your query and we will try our best to quickly respond. We can also learn a lot form other parents and thus the Parent Forum will soon be offered to all registered members of Daily Montessori website.
