Montessori Lab

The Montessori Lab offers a unique, hands-on learning environment where children explore and learn through self-directed activities. Equipped with Montessori materials, the lab encourages independent thinking, problem-solving, and discovery at each child's own pace. This approach fosters a love for learning, develops critical thinking skills, and promotes creativity by allowing children to engage in purposeful play and exploration. The Montessori Lab is designed to support children’s natural curiosity, helping them build confidence, responsibility, and a strong foundation for future learning.

8 Principals of Montessori

1. Movement & Cognition

Movement is crucial for learning. Children need to explore in order to learn effectively. This means that movement is required. Movement is fundamental to life and cognition. Therefore, when designing a Montessori environment, make sure there is enough room for children to move and explore freely. This is an essential aspect of Montessori education.

2. Choice

Choice is a fundamental human motivator. Research has shown everyone needs a sense of control over their learning and well-being in order to enhance their lives. When children are given choices, such as selecting materials from a shelf, they experience a sense of control over their learning. This sense of control can lead to improved learning and overall well-being which in turn fosters a love of exploration.

Interest

Interest is the fuel for learning. Just like adults, children learn best when they’re curious and engaged. When they are interested in something, they are naturally more driven and motivated to learn deeper. They will find it easy to retain the information too. Montessori directresses nurture children’s interests by providing specially designed materials and opportunities for exploration. This allows children to follow their natural interests at their own pace, when selecting the materials to work with.

Avoiding Extrinsic Rewards

Montessori avoids external rewards like stickers or stars. The focus is on the joy of learning and mastering new skills that comes from within which is intrinsic motivation. When children are rewarded for completing tasks, their focus shifts to the reward itself, not the deeper satisfaction of learning. This can reduce their internal drive to explore and discover on their own.

Learning from and with Peers

Learning from and with peers is a great way for children to learn. In a Montessori classroom, where children aged three to six years are grouped together, they can learn from each other. Younger children watch and copy what older children do, and the older children can show leadership by guiding the younger ones. This way, children learn together and from each other, creating a more engaging and effective learning

Learning in Context

To make learning more effective, it’s essential to connect it to real-life situations. For example, if you are teaching about insects, instead of just using pictures, take children on a walk to observe insects in their natural environment, such as a park or under a tree. This approach makes learning more meaningful and interesting, as children can relate their observations to the classroom setting.

Adult Interactions

Effective adult-child interactions can lead to better outcomes for children. Teachers who know how to interact with children can foster optimal development. In Montessori education, we teach specific ways for teachers to interact with children, focusing on language use and interaction styles. By adopting these strategies, teachers can create a more positive learning environment that encourages better outcomes in children.

Order in Environment and Mind

Step into a Montessori classroom, and you’ll be greeted by a sense of calm order. The space is divided into clear zones, each with its own materials. Every item has a designated spot, and that’s precisely where you’ll find it, even after a busy day. This emphasis on order goes beyond mere tidiness. Maria Montessori believed that an orderly environment fosters an orderly mind.
