MONTESSORI ACTIVITIES
The guiding principle of the Montessori method of education is to discover, rather than to learn.
Montessori activities encourage individual exploration, independence, and curiosity from the very earliest years, using all five senses. The end result is children grow up into secure and responsible adults!
