Montessori Classrooms<\/a> provide an environment that fosters the child\u2019s natural desire to become independent.\u00a0 As the child grows into an independent being, they develop self confidence, self esteem and the physical muscular skills to manoeuvre through a variety of activities necessary for their cognitive development.<\/span><\/p>\nIndependence is the focal point of the child\u2019s development and very few adults find it natural to foster this in the child.\u00a0 Therefore it becomes necessary, that Montessori educators and parents if they so wish to be trained to refrain from becoming an obstacle in the child\u2019s growth and instead become the facilitator – the guide.<\/span><\/p>\nDr. Montessori\u2019s work was not patented and therefore it is only through training and continuously self \/ professional development that most educators set a strong example of Independence in the classroom.<\/span><\/p>\nWhen searching for an authentic and strong Montessori program look for:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- children working individually and independently<\/span><\/li>\n
- they will be working happily and appear satisfied well adjusted individuals of the group<\/span><\/li>\n
- the teacher will in quiet gentle manner be giving lessons or observing\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
- the entire classroom will be busy but calm<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
