What happens when a child moves on to a traditional school?
The habits and skills a child develops in a Montessori setting are a way of life, because he achieves concentration, self-discipline, socialization, etc., so the child is better prepared to adapt to new situations and to easily integrate into a traditional school setting. The habits that are acquired early in life are conductive to a life-long search for knowledge. The children have learned to work independently, make their own decisions, and become problem-solvers from an early age. The childrens self-esteem is also strengthened by allowing them to do things for themselves, thus giving them the confidence they need to face the challenges they will encounter in life.
