Dr. Maria Montessori, while serving as an assistant doctor at the Children’s Psychological Ward at a hospital in Rome first became aware that a child’s self-determination to choose an activity and achieving an environment to follow the same surely helps laying the foundation of improved education. A child is also very inquisitive and has a great desire to find out everything that is all around him or her – she understood this as well. Thus the child’s education can be greatly enhanced if this curiosity is correctly channeled and the questions are answered instead of being ignored. Listed here are some of the fundamental factors of Montessori education.

• Positive attitude towards learning: The child feels positively about the learning process of the Montessori education method because individual attention is given here. This sense of attachment eventually turns into a sense of regard which is vital.
• The unconscious learning of the child progressively reaches the conscious level in the first six years, and so the child needs to be nurtured carefully in these years.
• Materials: Often children feel particularly interested or curious about some specific object and becomes attached to them, the teacher uses these objects to impart the teaching.
• Power of concentration: Montessori education can also make the child understand about concentration.

The child should realize his/her full potential and become successful in all spheres of life – this is the aim of Montessori method education. They need specially trained teachers who can open joyful doors of learning in friendly yet positive ways. This will ensure that nothing is imposed on the child and he/she can learn everything correctly and through games.

The Montessori Method also ensures that every child will be able to comprehend the things himself or herself. This leads to an atmosphere of mutual trust and regard and the bond between the mentor and the child deepens, and the child feels self-confident too.
