“It is interesting to notice that where life is simple and natural and where the children participate in the adult’s life, they are calm and happy.”

The Montessori method deeply considers children's holistic development, including their psychological growth and fosters independence, resilience and creative thinking. Adults adopting a Montessori approach dedicate significant time to observing children and understanding their developmental needs and motivations. Modern neuroscientific research further enhances our understanding of children and how to best meet their needs.
