Developing a Life-Long Love of Learning through Montessori Teaching

Montessori teaching has several differences in foundational concepts from traditional teaching methods. One of its most basic differences is that this method of teaching breaks students into three Montessori educational programs based on children’s developmental stages (as opposed to age) moving from concrete learning to more abstract learning, with schools typically working with children from 3-12 years of age. But the application of the Montessori method in teaching has many more nuanced deviations that work together to create an environment that is characterized by guided exploration and unhindered curiosity - key components in cultivating a child’s life-long love of learning.
