Montessori is very Expensive
First of all Montessori system is very expensive. Because this system needs to provide a
prepared environment where all things should be child sized. That’s why Parents prefer
Montessori systems because children enjoy playing with the given material. There are
different areas which are equipped with appropriate material. For examples Exercise of
Practical Life caters all those activities which make a child an independent individual.
This area needs their special tools, place and racks. Similarly sensorial activities provide
opportunities to learn through trial and error. Phonics, reading and writing, Mathematical
Developmental, science and geography, art and craft corners are created in real
Montessori system. This material is too expensive to buy all at once. Normally what do
people do that they buy some material and place in racks so class looks like a Montessori
but it does not fulfill the Long Term Effects of Montessori System.
2. Montessori Needs Proper Trained Teachers
Secondly, this system needs proper trained teachers, who should know how to facilitate a
child, what are developmental stages, how to cater inner urges which lead children to
development. Because Montessori system Organization need to spend handsome amount
on staff training as well because courses of Montessori are also very expensive.
Children are used to work in peace and calm environment.
Thirdly, Children are used to work in peace and calm environment. And when they move
to traditional institutes where students are too noisy and loud they don’t feel comfortable
in such environment.
3. Teachers give special, individual attention and care in Montessori
Fourthly, Teachers give special, individual attention and care in Montessori. They teach
them in small groups or individually which is not possible in traditional system. These
children are habitual of warm and cozy environment and when they go in higher classes
then these kids face problem. Nowadays IQ intelligent quotient does not matter but
Emotional Quotient matters a lot.

Iram
I am a Montessori Teacher. I have been teaching early year kids for last 10 years. I give
value to innate potential of each child. I facilitate young children's learning and thinking
through Montessori approach that encourages child's initiated learning. I believe in
educating the whole personality of a child, encouraging them to explore their interests in
different ways and promoting curiosity of mind, freedom of spirit and passion of
learning. To achieve this my different pedagogical styles provide opportunities which
enable children to discover knowledge and build on their individual strengths.
