Montessori
The Montessori method allows children to reach their unique, individual potential through the prepared environment, which is a child-centred location that allows intellectual, physical, social, emotional and spiritual freedom. The children learn with ease in a relaxed and orderly environment, and the Montessori teacher respects and guides each child according to his/her unique stage of development.
There are a number of services available to all Montessori providers, private and community, to ensure that Montessori schools nationally are supported in their endeavour to develop and achieve quality standards and performance:
- EOCP subsidised school visitation/advisory service leading to certification, carried out by Montessori Education Advisors.
- Informing parents of best practice and delivery of Montessori services and the significance of certification, through a multi-media approach, e.g. local print media, website, guideline booklet and City/County Childcare Committees.
- Providing additional EOCP subsidised training workshops, nationwide.
- Encouraging a networking system among Montessori providers and other professionals.
