1 Clock Hour of Early Childhood Education

Montessori Basics

​Topic 5 Page 2

The Montessori Classroom
Maria Montessori realized that children were learning best by utilizing the world around them and by driving their own education, interest, and abilities. The Montessori classroom looks similar to many classrooms, but is much busier, well-organized, and communal. For some, it appears to be chaotic and uncontrolled, but to the trained Montessori observer, it is quite the opposite. Some crucial elements include uninterrupted periods of work time, guided choices of work activities, and multiage groupings of students to promote community learning. There are also specially designed learning materials that are organized specifically for children to be able to access and use as they wish. Lastly, the Montessori classroom has a teacher as a facilitator, instead of instructor.

A Montessori classroom is typically minimalist and bright, with well-organized shelves of purposefully arranged learning materials. Everything in the Montessori classroom is designed with independence in mind. The goal is for students to be able to access their materials, and more, with little to no teacher assistance. In this classroom you will not see individual desks, a chalkboard or brightly colored posters on the walls. Instead you will find mats and floor space for children to lay out their work and materials, as well as peaceful reading nooks and tables for peer work. These elements are the same, no matter what age level the classroom is intended for.
