Children today are constantly surrounded by technology.

Research has proven that contrary to popular belief, technology does not facilitate learning.

Clicking and swiping does not contribute to a child’s nervous system growth or social development.

Montessori schools are not against modern technologies, they just want to use them for the right reasons.

In a classic school experience, you probably learned to read, to write, to count, to socialize.

However, in a traditional school, the role of the teacher is to transmit knowledge to you and yours, to learn.

What you learn and what you learned was not of your resort.

The training of a Montessori teacher is different depending on the age of the children with whom she will work.

There is a majority of teachers for 3 to 6 year olds because this is a key period for the development of the child.

The child does not do what he wants, he wants what he does.

A Montessori class does not look like a normal class, inside it looks like the children are playing.

But developmental research shows that play and child labor.

Children seek to know how the world works, they do this through exploitation of their environment and sometimes it could be taken as a game.

The fact that children have the opportunity to choose their own work is key to Montessori education.

Freedom optimizes their learning experience and the development of their personal motivation. This internal motivation is the key to success

But this is not true, it is an education made for the development of the child both emotionally and neurologically.

Also allowing to learn to live in society. Children need to explore, try, fail and try again. This is how humans develop their nervous system, we are designed to do it this way.This is how each individual develops his brain.And that is what Montessori offers to all children.
