Information
When you're in a Montessori environment, you may notice a few things that are a little different from other playgroup environments.
This is how a typical session is run:
-
Prepare the room for the session
-
Carer/child activity time
-
Morning tea
-
Pack away morning tea
-
Music and goodbye time
How to make the most of each session:
-
Try to arrive at the specific start time to ensure that the workload of setting up is shared by all members.
-
Activities are set around key themes, and whilst activities may look just like unusual toys to you, Montessori parents call them 'jobs'. Your child will choose a job and bring it to the table or mat on the floor to do with you.
-
The Montessori Method has a great focus on visual learning and as a Montessori parent or carer, we demonstrate how best the job is performed. Your child waits until you are finished and then it is their turn.
-
Our children learn by exploring so try to not interrupt when they are doing a job. They explore the job until they are finished, then they take it back to where it came from on the shelf.
