A typical day in a Montessori school

Arrival at the Montessori school

Montessori school welcomes its students every day into an environment conducive to learning and personal growth. Arriving at this school is often a warm and welcoming moment for children, where they are encouraged to explore and learn at their own pace.

Exchange between parents and Montessori educators

Before activities begin, Montessori educators take time to speak with parents. This exchange allows for sharing information about the day ahead, as well as building a trusting relationship between the school and the family. These moments of exchange foster a better understanding of each child's individual needs.

Personalized welcome for each child

Each child is welcomed individually, respecting their pace and personality. The Montessori school makes it a point of honor to offer a warm and personalized welcome to each student, thereby fostering a sense of security and belonging to the school community.

Morning work period

Mornings at a Montessori school are often dedicated to individual and group learning activities. Children have the freedom to choose from a variety of activities prepared by the educators. These activities are designed to stimulate curiosity, encourage autonomy, and foster the development of cognitive, social, and emotional skills.

Children are encouraged to explore various subjects such as mathematics, language, science, culture, and much more, through sensory manipulation and practical experiences. Montessori educators carefully observe each child, guiding them when they express a need, while respecting their autonomy and free choice.
