This involves respecting the uniqueness of every child, their freedom to choose, to move, to correct their own mistakes, and to work at their own pace. Montessori educators work and interact with children from a pace of genuine respect. 
The Montessori environment consists of Practical life, Sensorial, Language, Mathematics and Cultural areas. 
It is based on self-directed activity, hands on learning and collaborative play.
The Montessori method of education is a system of education for children that seeks to develop natural interests and activities rather than using formal teaching methods.
The Principles of the Montessori Method include:
Principle 1. Respect the Child
Principle 2. The Absorbent Mind
Principle 3. Sensitive Periods
Principle 4. The Prepared Environment
Principle 5. Auto Education
