Montessori Pedagogy, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over a century ago in Italy, observes that children learn naturally through activities and character development, and flourish with freedom to make choices. Through over two decades of scientific observation, Dr. Montessori identified the universal characteristics and guidelines for children's learning and development to create a pedagogy that presents specially designed material and techniques tailored to children's developmental needs. Research shows the effectiveness of the Montessori method compared to traditional education methodology. The foundation for Montessori pedagogy as we know it now centres on the identification of children's sensitive periods, or phases when they are best capable of absorbing certain skills. Montessori designed cognitive, life-skill, social, and emotional development activities to help children acquire maximum benefits with ease and joy during these phases. Authentic Montessori environments are peaceful, multi-sensory, encourage exploration, and individualised learning goals with children actively engaged in their work. The methodology fosters freedom, independence, confidence, respect, empathy, and peace in children from an early age, creating a natural society-like mixed age environment. Giving children this freedom and support enables accountability, exploration, questioning, and making connections to encourage critical thinking, collaboration, and bold, honest action. Ultimately, Montessori pedagogy develops self-directed, enthusiastic learners that positively impact themselves and their communities.
