Unique Learning Materials
"The Montessori materials in our classrooms are irresistible to the young child! "
From the solid cylinders and sandpaper
globe to the puzzle maps and number rods, each material encourages activity. The child chooses the material he wants to use
and works with it according to his own needs and interests. In this way the material becomes a means of growth.
One of Dr. Montessori's unique contributions to education is her carefully designed materials. They have
special appeal to the young child who is naturally fascinated with activity requiring increased precision of his hand.
Each material utilizes and further refines the child's fine motor control. .
The child learns by making discoveries with the materials. His sustained attention while working with
the material develops his intellect and cultivates concentration, motivation, self-discipline, and an enthusiasm for learning.
Montessori uses these materials to introduce the child to every aspect of our cultural heritage:
reading, language, math, geography, science, music and art.
