Montessori Curriculum-Practical Life


Image result for practical life montessori

At Montessori Academy, we believe that education is an aid and a preparation for life. Our Curriculum is based on Doctor Maria Montessori’s findings about the key developmental stages children move through from birth to age six.

Practical Life

Practical Life activities help children learn how to care for themselves and their environment. These activities help the child to become more independent, leading to greater self-confidence, and the ability to face new challenges. Practical Life exercises include lessons in grace and courtesy, care for self, and care for the environment. The purpose of these activities is to enhance co-ordination, concentration, independence, and indirectly prepare children for writing and reading. Activities often include cleaning, food preparation, polishing and watering plants.
