Montessori teachers carefully introduce prepared activities that meet childrens unique interests, abilities and developmental needs. Montessori teachers lay the foundations for independent learning and their role involves: 
 
Make children the center of learning 

Encouraging children to learn by providing freedom for them in the prepared environment 

Observing children so as to prepare the best possible environment, recognising sensitive periods and diverting inappropriate behaviour to meaningful tasks 

Preparing the learning environment by ensuring that learning materials are provided in an orderly format and the materials provide for appropriate experiences for all the children 

Respecting each child and modelling ongoing respect for all children and their work

Introducing learning materials, demonstrating learning materials, and supporting children’s learning after observing each child.
