| The Montessori Philosophy Dr. Montessori developed what she call the Prepared Environment, which already possesses a certain order and allows children to learn at their own speed, according to their own capabilities and in a non-competitive atmosphere. Never let children risk failure until they have a reasonable chance at success.” The years between three and six are the years in which children learn the rules of human behavior most easily. These years can be constructively devoted to “civilizing” children, freeing them through the acquisition of good manners and habits, to take their places in their culture. Dr. Montessori has recognized that the only valid impulse to learning is the self-motivation of the child. Children move themselves toward learning. If Montessori children are free to learn, it is because they have acquired an “inner discipline” from their exposure to both physical and mental order. This is the core of Dr. Montessori’s philosophy. Montessori teaches children to observe, to think, and to judge. It introduces children to the joy of learning at an early age and provides a framework in which intellectual and social discipline goes hand-in-hand. |
