What is the difference between Montessori and traditional education? 

Montessori emphasizes learning through

all five senses, not just through  listening,

watching, or reading. Children in Montessori

classes learn  at their  own, individual pace

and according to their own choice of

activities from  hundreds of possibilities.

Learning is an exciting process of discovery,

leading  to concentration, motivation,

self-discipline, and a love of learning. 

Montessori classes place children in three-year age groups (3-6, 6-9, 9-12, and so on), forming communities in which the older children spontaneously share their knowledge with the younger ones. Montessori represents an entirely different approach to education.
