Supporting the Development of Character
Character is not something adults pour into a child. It is nurtured through environment, modelling, concentration, independence, respect, patience, and meaningful work.
Montessori & Piaget: A Comparison
Montessori and Piaget both help us understand how children grow, think, and learn. Piaget gives us a framework for cognitive development, while Montessori shows how observation, independence, and the prepared environment support the whole child.
What Does It Mean to “Follow the Child”?
“Follow the child” does not mean leaving children without guidance. It means observing carefully, preparing the environment, and giving children the tools and space to grow in independence.
