The Prepared Environment
The Montessori classrooms are carefully prepared and ordered learning environments, organised to meet the needs of children at different stages of development.
Stages of Development
Dr Montessori observed that children pass through periods of acute interest in specific aspects of the physical and social environment. She called these the 'Sensitive Periods' and designed Montessori classrooms with a range of distinctive, concrete materials equipped to respond to each child's particular sensitive periods. These materials spark and hold children's interest and lead them comparatively effortlessly to educational knowledge.
