The Goals of a Montessori Teacher
April 20, 2023
From “Tomorrow’s Child”:
“Montessori Guides Have Five Basic Goals:
To awaken the child’s spirit and imagination;
To encourage his normal desire for independence and high sense of self-esteem;
To help him develop the kindness, courtesy, and self-discipline that will allow him to become a full member of society;
To help children learn how to observe, question, and explore ideas independently;
And, having created a spirit of joyful learning, to help the child to master the skills and knowledge of their society.”
“Tomorrow’s Child,” Volume 8, Number 5, 2000. Pg. 17.
Many parents now enroll their children in preschool as early as 2 1/2 years old. Starting at this age helps develop essential skills and provides a strong foundation for lifelong learning.
Wheaton Montessori School summer camps provide fun and educational summertime experiences with their expert teachers and assistants.
