PSK Early Childhood Activities are inspired by Montessori Learning!
If you are a modern parent then chances are you might have heard about this teaching method by now. This teaching method is becoming very popular as it has proved itself from time and again that it is a better teaching method especially in early learning than the traditional teaching methods.
Whether you are a New Parent, or Parent, Guardian, or Caregiver of kids aged up to 3 years, you will love to hear what your little Prodigy Super Kid can do when exposed to this teaching method in early childhood.
Some of you might already have guessed.
It’s the Montessori Teaching Method we’re talking about.
It has been over 90 years since Maria Montessori came up with this teaching method and yet this method is still a new teaching style in India.
This is why the benefits of this teaching method still have reached up to a very few early learners and curious young minds.
But as we learned more about it, we got inspired by it and decided that we need to take this much-needed teaching method to parents who really want their kid to be a PSK.
So let’s start by telling you,
What is Montessori Learning?
The concept of Montessori learning is basically based on a theory that kids can explore a lot more when they are put into self-directed activity, interactive and collaborative play, and hands-on learning experiences.
In the Montessori teaching method, highly trained teachers offer age-appropriate to students. Unlike the traditional teaching methods, Montessori Learning strikes a perfect chord between developing a kid’s natural interests and the available academic activities.
In simple words, the Montessori teaching method makes your kid ‘want’ to learn. It helps build and develop affinity in kids’ minds towards learning which lays the foundation of raising a prodigy kid.
Detailed Benefits of Montessori Learning
Back in the day when Maria Montessori came up with her theory, no one really accepted her teaching methods.
The supposedly esteemed teachers even scoffed at her theory, for there was no scientific evidence that could back her theories.
But when she implemented theories in her class she observed tremendous outputs.
Students were now more interested in learning all the academic subjects that we used to dread in our time
And as the decades passed by, the theory of Montessori Learning proved itself time and again.
In many European countries and in North America and South America, Montessori Learning is part of the regular curriculum.
The reason is simply because of its clear benefits which are:
- Good Thinking: Montessori Learning helps develop a sharp, rational, curious, and critically thinking mind which is the most necessary skill set in the world we live in today
- Individual Attention: Montessori Teaching Method requires the teachers to value each kid as a unique individual.
- Students are made to learn at their own pace and different learning styles are applied according to the needs of every single student.
- Discipline: In this method, kids learn the importance of order, concentration, coordination, and Independence. They are made to learn to focus without feeling pressured.
- Developing Empathy: Since kids are taught in an empathetic environment and in a caring community. Students develop empathy towards their peers and everyone they meet or will meet someone ahead in their lives.
- Self Assessment: Self-assessment is an integral part of the Montessori Curriculum. kids are made to self-assess the work that they have done.
- The whole point is to develop the skill of self-correcting and improvising.
- Early Age benefits: The sooner you begin the better. When Montessori Learning is integrated with Early childhood learning it produces a genius mind that is ready to write his own luck and make a place for him/herself in the world.
Did you know? Jeff Bezos, yes the founder of Amazon, was Montessori educated. Talk about developing a brilliant mind from early on.
- Exposure to multiple skills: Montessori kids are exposed to a variety of skills and we are talking about every aspect. Academics, Art, Dance, Singing, Tech, or sports.
- Students are made to explore all these fields until they find what they love the most.
- An Entrepreneurial advantage: Some people who have been Montessori educated themselves and are now successful entrepreneurs believe that Montessori Education puts you at an adaptive advantage if you want to become a successful entrepreneur. Since kids become social, their learning process is self-directed, and they self-assess themselves, this cultivates all the basic traits your kid would need to become an entrepreneur from the beginning.
While you may be a little reluctant to go for a teaching method that’s pretty new in the country.
