What makes a Montessori teacher different?
You will notice that Montessori teachers are referred to as a Directress because what they do is direct the child toward what he needs to teach himself. In the classroom, your child will be taught individually or in small groups. This allows the teacher to get immediate feedback and to see how well the child is absorbing the lesson and what questions or needs he/she may have. Each Montessori teacher has been trained in the science of child observation. They spend time every day observing the class: how it is functioning as a whole and how the children are progressing with their work. They use the Montessori materials to enhance the learning experience The Directress will observe your child, determine his/her level of development and what guidance they need to progress to the next level.
