Features: The Montessori educational method is an approach that comprehensively enhances children's qualities and develops their potential. It cleverly utilizes the children's own growth needs, achieving educational goals without compromising their freedom and joy. Montessori believed that children possess an innate "inner life force," which is positive, continuously developing, and infinitely powerful. The task of education is to stimulate and promote the development of children's "inner potential." Children are not containers to be filled by adults, nor are they malleable clay or wax that can be shaped at will. Teachers and parents must carefully study and observe children, understanding their inner world, and in the children's free and spontaneous activities, help them achieve physical and mental development. Based on this, Montessori designed a set of effective training methods to guide young children to grow rapidly.
