Why are different ages grouped together?
Montessori class includes children of different ages. There is a great benefit to the children in growing in a “family like” environment. Some cousins are at different age – but we still get along well. Younger children benefit from the guidance and stimulation of older children, while older children gain additional self-esteem and independence by helping younger ones. Children can always find others who are working at their level, regardless of age. The children stay in the same class for several years, developing strong bonds with their classmates and teachers.
