The benefits of Montessori education continue to be documented in scholarly journals, scientific studies, and parental groups worldwide. Montessori classroom strategies are being implemented in more private and public school settings each year. The reason is clear: Montessori teaches children to think.
Gone are the days of children simply memorizing facts. Our ever-changing world requires a generation who won’t rely on the past, but who will think critically and make new discoveries.
Montessori classrooms provide the environment where children develop cognitive thinking abilities like observation, exploration, sequencing, sorting, combining, comparing and contrasting. Add the element of independence to this inquiry-based learning and the result is a child who has mastered the habit of thinking!
