A Montessori Primary classroom resembles a welcoming home rather than a traditional school. You won’t see desks, nor will a teacher stand at the front of the room delivering a lesson to the whole class. Instead, you’ll see children happily working individually or in small groups, at tables or on the floor near small mats that define their own space, using specially designed materials displayed on accessible shelves, while learning self-sufficiency and responsibility in their cozy, child-friendly environment.
