(Unit 5) Topic 5: Incorporating Montessori Elements in Program Planning

1 Clock Hour of Early Childhood Education

Community and Practical Life Skills

​Topic 5 Page 8

Children are also given the opportunities and materials to practice and perfect practical life skills. You may see a kindergartener sweeping the floor before lunch, a preschool student cracking pistachios into a small bowl to share with friends, a tray on each lunch table with safety scissors and a sponge for students to be able to complete practical tasks that will benefit their independence.
A sense of community gives children the safety and comfort of being able to be themselves while always being supported by peers. Creating a program that promotes a sense of community can help students to build self-esteem and give them the tools they need to conquer challenges.

​The Montessori classroom also strives to teach children to take care of themselves, their peers, and the environment including materials and procedures.  It is a holistic approach to the classroom.
