The Montessori Method promotes independence by giving a child the ability to make their own choices, providing gentle guidance and allowing them to learn through play at their own pace.
Preparing their own snack, washing their hands, and making healthy food choices are all great examples of activities that children can do to learn self-care as part of practical life.
Music and movement activities help children to develop problem-solving skills because the nature of music and the accompanying actions teach children to think sequentially.
A sense of inclusivity and empowerment underpins the Reggio Emilia approach. Children are seen as capable, strong, creative and curious. They’re respected as individuals within a group and are encouraged.
Doug Fargher says that “children who spend time outdoors and connect with the natural environment tend to be healthier, happier, stronger and have a greater respect for the environment.”
Play-based learning is a teaching method that is centred around the idea of children learning through play. It’s similar to how babies learn from playing with their parents. By experiencing the world and exploring it, babies figure out how to get what they want and need in their own way.
The Reggio approach and Montessori method share many of the same common beliefs and are both committed to proactive learning and educating all-round developed children.
When creative learning is applied in early childhood development, it offers children the chance to be active participants in their learning, by fully engaging their bodies, minds, and senses.
In Montessori methods, self-care is any activity that will help a child become independent in taking care of their bodies. Montessori methods teach self-care through learning stations where kids brush their hair, button their clothes or wash their own hands.
