Montessori Online
The Field and Study Montessori created Montessori Online to help parents, specifically during this pandemic, teach Montessori at home.
Montessori’s approach to the education of the child is unique in that it is based on the observation of the child and following his or her abilities and interests. By observing children closely, you are able to identify when a child is most willing and ready to learn a specific skill. The method is based on the freedom of the child to explore and learn, mostly, through self-direction.
Our online Montessori programme will provide you with carefully prepared lessons to complete with your child at home. Our lessons will give your child the confidence and necessary skills for a love of learning.
The Montessori philosophy nurtures a child’s sensitive period by allowing the child ample opportunity for the child to be absorbed and focused on whatever task they are driven to at the time. Montessori believed that children learned more quickly and easily during this time, for this specific task, than any other time and that children should not be punished or redirected during their sensitive period
We offer two online programmes:
* Pre-School Programme
* Toddler Programme
Both programmes include tutorial videos, language, mathematics, cultural as well as introduction manuals.
