Children gain an extremely strong sense of self-worth; they learn that they are important, and their ideas are valuable. - Increased Confidence:
Children gain the confidence required to master new skills, solve difficult problems, and achieve success. - Community Awareness:
Children learn how to live in the community with people who have different strengths and weaknesses. - Leadership:
Children learn how to lead, and at the same time, be part of a team. - Self-Instruction:
Through the use of self-correcting equipment, children learn from their own errors by getting feedback on choices they make. - Respect the Environment:
Children learn the importance of preserving the environment while using its resources wisely. - Increased Aptitude:
According to a study five-year-old Montessori students were “significantly better prepared for elementary school in reading and math skills than the non-Montessori children” and they tested better in their “ability to adapt better to changing and more complex problems”.
