The first day of school is exciting and daunting, especially in preschool. Even as a parent, you are also in a dilemma like whether this schooling is best or not. Well, here is a price of good news for you. Further, we will describe what benefits you will experience after joining Montessori schools for your kids. Let’s have a look at the below details:

• Develop Self-Confidence!

Indeed hobbies provide many opportunities for kids to learn more about the world and become more skilled at what they are doing. As they become masters in the new skills, they grow in their self-confidence, taking pride in what they are able to make.
Moreover, Montessori schools train kids until they become perfect in the skill and have the confidence to do it alone at any place. And once kids adapt any skills as their hobbies, self-esteem develops automatically. So, if you are looking to make your kid successful with lots of skills, just take admission to Montessori school.

• Individual Expression!

Kids automatically tap into intense and curious things by choosing the most exciting hobbies. Even with daily practice, they can easily examine what they love and what they are good at.
Moreover, as kids practice hobbies, they develop focused attention, and it is also the best way to achieve individual expression. And it all plays to become successful in future.

• A Better Direction For Children's Future Careers!

It is also true not all kids will turn their hobbies into a future career. But, at Montessori schools, the kids are trained in every scenario that helps them choose the right path to have a bright future ahead. Even your kids will go in the right direction, including their hobbies, and others come into their minds. We at  Montessori elementary schools not only teach or train kids, but we listen to kids ’ like about what they feel, what they think, and what they want to achieve, and then we guide them accordingly.

• Built Discipline!

Kids are encouraged to share what they have learned with the whole community. And thus create a rich discovery in which everyone is continuously exposed to several pieces of information. It is our vision that the procurement of knowledge is its own reward. And it is the reason our students tend to be self-disciplined and motivated in their work.

• Develop Responsibility Skills!

Responsibility is the most integral aspect of life. Because, until you are not responsible, you never do any work on time. And, responsibility is prompted as students maintain work journals and meet teachers regularly to review the work and discuss further possible study approaches. So, here, teachers help kids to develop responsibility skills.

​   From the moment a child is born, her communication skills start developing. Human beings can adapt to the environment they are born into. Between 0 to 6, children’s Absorbent Mind helps them to assimilate language in the environment, and it is done effortlessly. There is a study done by Dr. Itard who worked with Victor, the Wild Boy of Aveyron in France who was raised by wolves from 1801 to 1806. He documented that he was able to restore him to recognizable humanity, but Victor never learned to make speech. Later, Dr. Itard’s method was successfully applied to the special education. His work also had a major influence on Maria Montessori’s work in her development of training methods for normally developing children.
     Language lessons start on the first day a child walks in the Montessori classroom. Our Montessori classrooms are language rich environments. Having child’s spoken language as a foundation, the children in primary build solid writing and reading skills. In elementary classes, they explore the history of language, grammar, and syntax, and their functions in sentences. They learn great deal about communication in elementary as they become naturally more social, showing more interest in what and how their friends talk. They may hear and use words parents may not approve of at home. We need to show understanding in our children’s renewed and growing interests to be a part of social groups. At the same time, we need to set reasonable and firm limits and remind them that they always need to be respectful of others. Maria Montessori said, “Language is the greatest thing in humanity: It is the phenomenon which allows social life to exist.”
    For older elementary and middle school students, the digital technologies offer new and different options for expression. They need the same support from us in learning the skills for digital communication and interaction that they needed in developing spoken language. Our children need explicit instruction in safe practices for the use of technology as they want to be socially connected with their peers. Our children live in a world in which empathy is harder to develop because there are fewer human interactions. Grace and courtesy now need to be extended to our online communications.

       The new school year has started, and children are acclimated into their Montessori environment at school.  The Montessori classroom is an environment prepared by the trained adult for children, which Maria Montessori called the prepared environment.  It contains all the age-appropriate essentials for optimal development but nothing superfluous.  Many parents then ask, “What can we do at home?” 
     As you prepare your home environment, there are basic Montessori principles to consider, like organization, order, independence of the child or freedom with limits.
Furniture and objects in the room are tangible parts of the environment.  Children should have child-size furniture and child-friendly tools for easy use.  Older children, elementary and up need more freedom and varieties. Having choices in where to work, such as at a table, on the floor, at a counter-top, or patio area outside would be great.  An open shelf is the best option for storage, which allows easy access, organization, and easy cleanups.
​     It is a good idea to have a separate supply shelf for the children, so that they know where to get materials they need and be able to work independently.  At the end of the day, children can be involved in replenishing what they used for the next day.
​Older children can have a selection of books on a separate shelf in common area of the house instead of storing everything in his/her room.  Different board games or art supplies for big projects can be stored as well since older children enjoy more group activities with their families.
      It is great to have child-size cleaning supplies, such as brush and dustpan, mop, broom, or table sponges, so that they can clean up the spills they made independently.  You can also provide an apron for messy activities and a hook on the wall for the children to hang them. 
     Having choices, routine, freedom with limits and independence are intangible parts of the environment.  Out of selections of activities, the children can choose what they want to do. Or they may just want to watch what other family members are doing.  We need to be mindful about not to over-schedule activities.  It is important for them to have unstructured times at home.  Creativity and innovations are often born when children have free time. 
     By giving age-appropriate freedom and the limits, children feel safe to engage in activities independently.  You can keep the objects and supply limited, so that they learn to take good care of them.   Parents should also have a high expectation of the children to participate in family life.  Care of the home should be done with the children. 
     Having order and organization are important for independent functioning of the children.   Containing objects in baskets or on trays helps children to find objects easily and can encourage repetition.  Objects on the shelves can be rotated every 2 or 3 weeks to keep children’s interests fresh.  Toddlers need a lot more space to move around and keeping rooms tidy and organized are even more important for them.
