Course Description
According to Montessori philosophy, sensorial impressions actually begin at birth (and possibly sooner!) A child’s first few years of life are the most important years for development as a whole. These Montessori sensorial materials were designed to develop and refine a child’s senses. Through this multi-sensory curriculum, a child learns to become aware of details and is provided materials to learn to discriminate and appreciate said details.
With the introduction of Montessori sensorial materials, children develop their:
- visual sense through careful discrimination based on qualities such as height and width
- tactile sense through the introduction of concepts such as rough and smooth
- olfactory sense by completing such activities as literally stopping to smell the roses on a nature walk
- gustatory sense when helping with food preparation and tasting to see if the right amount of spices has been added
- auditory sense through incorporating music and songs into daily life
How Montessori Compares To Public School Standards
Montessori materials teach through hands-on methods to help children learn at their own pace.
While public schools push rigid concepts and steps every child must follow in the exact order and at the same pace the schools outline, Montessori subjects is about self-directed, self-paced and multi-sensory learning.
It fosters a love of learning and marks advancement based on the development of a child as a whole.
Montessori students universally perform above grade level. Perhaps this is because children learn using attractive materials that invite repetition and investigation.
