Montessori and homeschool are a perfect fit because they share the same focus: your child. The Montessori method centers on
- being aware of your child’s needs and level of development
- following his lead when he expresses interest in a task
- working in a prepared environment – a beautiful, calm, and ordered space that facilitates your child’s learning
It comes as no surprise that these are concepts that coincide with the ideals of many homeschooling parents. Who knows your child’s needs and interests better than you? And, your home can be the ideal prepared environment, designed by you and tailored specifically to your child. Homeschooling with the Montessori method enables you to create an active learning environment where you will encourage exploration and discovery, nurture ideas, foster independence, welcome questions and offer answers, and most importantly, value and respect your child.
