What they have in common
That a child can choose, focus and make mistakes without anyone rushing them
That comes down to five concrete signs, and you notice them the moment you step into the prepared environment.
Children of different ages together
A six-year-old explains something to a four-year-old. There is no one class per age: the little ones learn by watching and the older ones consolidate their own learning by teaching it.
Long work periods, no bells
No one breaks the morning into forty-minute subjects. Each child stays with their task until it is finished. That sustained concentration is half of Montessori.
Material to touch, at their height
The shelves are within reach and the material is made for hands: the beads, the sandpaper letters, the pink tower. They understand the world by touching it.
No stickers, no punishments
There is no smiley-face chart or rewards for good behaviour. A child does things because they are interested, not for a reward or out of fear of being told off.
A trained guide in every classroom
The person accompanying your child is a guide with recognised Montessori training. They observe, and know when to step in and when to step back.
