As Montessori education has grown in popularity, more schools have begun using the name. While this has helped bring attention to child centred learning, it has also made it harder for parents to know what is truly Montessori and what is simply borrowing the label. Choosing the right school is an important decision, and understanding...
Many parents follow the traditional school path simply because it is familiar. It is the system they grew up with, so it feels safe and proven. Yet as children grow, some parents begin to notice signs of mismatch. Their child may feel rushed, anxious, disengaged, or defined by comparison rather than growth. Montessori education offers...

Long before formal academics become important, children are building habits of mind, emotional patterns, and attitudes toward learning that can last a lifetime. This is why the kind of environment a child experiences before age six matters so deeply. Montessori education places...
