A Montessori classroom is a child-centered class. The teacher prepares the environment and brings the child into contact with the world in which he lives. The Montessori classroom often seems surprisingly quiet compared to the nursery school. That is because of the highly organized program and environment that the teacher prepares. The teacher carefully guides the child towards self-discipline by exposing him to both physical and mental order.
In the classroom the child is free to move about to talk to other children to work with any equipment the teacher has introduced to him. The child is encouraged to explore and to satisfy his natural curiosity. He is not free to disturb other children at work or to abuse the equipment that is so important to his development.
In the Montessori classroom the teacher functions as a guide. The teacher offers the child stimulation by introducing materials and observes the child at work. The method of teaching is indirect and one which give the child a sense of progress and creativity. This in turn helps the child achieve a positive self-image. Montessori allows a child to become an individual seeking out information from a well-prepared environment in a natural and joyful way.
