About
the little ones and their learning:
Children at the age of three till six are
innocent and tender just like the fresh dew drops, like the white lilies. They
aren’t yet accustomed to anything harsh and are yet to explore life, even if
that means their childhood. Such little ones need special care and lots of love
while they are being taught the fundamental stages, the elementary education
stage.
A daycare school is such where these children can
learn a lot while they are playing. They seem to be at ease with the teachers
who have been specially trained for taking care of them. These teachers too are
taught to care for them and teach them many valuable lessons which will come
handy to them in their elementary or high school stage. In such a school, the
children are never expected to conform the setting of standards for
achievement, unlike the conventional schools. Here the teachers try to
understand each child and all the gifts, talents, needs they have also their
individual qualities. The children can learn everything at their own pace here
and they are never constrained or ever criticized for anything. They get
complete freedom and this makes their process of learning better than any other
method.
What
is done in these Montessori schools?
A lot of activities and fun is what one
gets to see in these schools. These schools teach children to be independent
right from an early age and also these children take part actively in running
their schools. They do activities like serving and preparing juices at breaks
and also put away the learning and playing equipments after using them. They
also do many practical tasks like sweeping, making sandwiches, polishing and learning
to tie the shoe laces. All these are available for the children and that too to
learn on a daily basis. There are learning equipment which has been designed by
Maria Montessori, after whom, this method of teaching little children have been
named. In such an environment the children are taught to socialize and respect
each other.
These little ones can work with their
classmates and help or teach them. And they enjoy doing these and also it is a
pretty sight to watch a child willingly teach other children. There are several
games, story-telling sessions and more which help these children to learn a lot
and also enjoy their time. Such schools are especially good for the parents who
have to go to work and need someone to take care of their children. Here they
get to teach their children along with the teachers taking care of them.
