Montessori Programme
Montessori education is a child-centered approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. It emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms, children make creative choices in their learning while trained teachers guide activities. The method is used from early childhood through elementary, with multi-age classrooms, specialized materials, and a focus on developing the whole child.
