The document discusses the key principles of the Montessori method of education. It describes Maria Montessori's approach as focusing on (1) respect for the child, allowing them to direct their own learning, (2) the absorbent mind of children and their ability to learn different skills at sensitive periods, and (3) creating a prepared environment with self-correcting learning materials to facilitate auto-education, where children teach themselves. The Montessori method aims to foster creativity, independence, and success by treating children with dignity and respecting their natural developmental needs and periods of learning.

5. When you listen to
children's opinions, support
and scaffold their learning,
let them take initiative and
learn for themselves, and
adapt your education to
meet their specific learning
and behavioral
requirements, you are
demonstrating respect for
them. Children are able to
develop the skills and
capacities required for
efficient learning,
autonomy, and positive self-
esteem when you treat
them with respect.

6. The Absorbent Mind
examines both the
physical and
psychological facets of
a child's development
during their most
formative years. The
child learns motor
coordination, language,
social skills, work
habits, and the
beginning of routines
that establish patterns
for life during this time.

8. A setting where kids can
take care of themselves.
Children get access to
learning resources and
activities in an orderly and
structured manner thanks
to the prepared
environment. When
educators talk about child-
centered education and
active learning, they truly
mean the classrooms that
Montessori outlined, where
students may readily
locate, use, and return
materials.

9. The Montessori method is
predicated on the idea of
auto-education, or
children's ability to
educate themselves (or
self-education). Children
who actively participate in
a structured environment
and who have the
flexibility to make their
own decisions are literally
educating themselves. As
a result, Montessori
educators set up learning
environments where kids
can learn for themselves.

Method allows
children to be free
within limits. They are
able to explore and be
independent. It allows
the teachers to
observe and guide
where the child needs
it. It gives the child to
learn and still be him
or herself. Image: (2022). Quotemaster.org.
