Can it help me as a parent?

Yes! Children who attend Montessori classes become independent and disciplined, they develop a love of learning in general and become motivated and courteous - which, of course, helps a parent in his/her labour of bringing up a child.

To make it even more effective, all parents can use Montessori principles of child development at home, complementing your child’s experiences in Montessori school. Look at your home through your child’s eyes. Children need a sense of belonging, and they get it by participating fully in the routines of everyday life. ‘Help me do it by myself’ is the life theme of the preschooler. Providing opportunities for independence is the surest way to build your child’s self-esteem.
