Additional
Information: | Child’s Play is Child’s Work
In Montessori schools we do not distinguish between work and play. All learning is seen as the result of the child's natural impetus toward self-development. Even "academic" work is approached as a symbolic and abstract level of play through the hands-on, sensorial way of learning that is the hallmark of early childhood. Learning is natural and easy because it involves the mind, body and spirit in a way that is natural to the child. | License: | #073405023 |
