Portuguese Understanding Montessori Planes of Development for Children
The Montessori Planes of Development offer a framework to understand how children grow through four key stages: Absorbent Mind (0-6), Reasoning Mind (6-12), Adolescence & Identity (12-18), and Maturity & Social Responsibility (18-24). This approach helps educators and parents support children’s development by recognizing their unique needs at each stage.
