What is Montessori?Dr Maria Montessori, the founder, discovered over a hundred years ago that children learn best when given the opportunity to explore according to their interests. The philosophy that guides everything in Montessoriis to follow the child, and an important part of the Montessori approach is the one-on-one relationship between child and teacher. Montessori teachers - Focus on the unique needs, gifts and interests of each child
- Respect children and their natural ability and desire to learn
- Recognise the sensitive periods in children’s lives and when certain essential skills are more readily learned
- Teach self-discipline, and respect for themselves, others and their environment.
Currently in New Zealand there are about fifteen Montessori Primary units, usually attached to state schools. Due to the increasing popularity and success of these units the demand for suitably qualified teachers has already outstripped growth.
