What Happens After Montessori Bibliography MontessoriConnections is grateful to the Montessori Association of Colorado for permission to use this overview of Montessori education. Here is an excellent site that has much valuable information about Montessori Education. Be sure to visit them. It is important to find a school atmosphere that is compatible with the home environment, rather than diametrically opposed to it.
Children learn far more from imitation of what they see and do than from what they hear.
Because of individual adaptations and interpretations, all Montessori schools differ somewhat. You want a place where your child will feel happy and secure while he is learning, where he is treated and respected as an individual and where he feels comfortable in his surrounds while realizing what is expected of him in this new situation. A child's first school experience has a great effect on his future feeling concerning school and the learning process, therefore it is vitally important to make a wise decision in these early years of a your child's educational experience. The biggest favor that you can do for your child, once he has been enrolled in a Montessori school, is to become actively involved yourself. The return on your investment in Montessori will be enhanced if there is a consistency between your home and your child's classroom.
