Decision making

The classroom environment offers freedom. The Montessori approach is therefore sometimes mistakenly interpreted as a “laisez fair” method. However, the freedom offered always has boundaries. It reflects real life, in which we can make our own decisions, as long as it does not put others at a disadvantage.

In the Montessori school, the educational environment simulates real life. We are preparing children for the world, and there is not always someone who tells you what to do, how to do it, when and with whom!
All these decisions are individual, so let’s practice in a safe environment! The classroom offers materials, activities and lessons related to the development of all characteristics of that age range.
Children have a certain freedom to choose when they do what and for how long. However, the boundaries are set; take care not to forget certain subjects, do not disturb others and have a positive work attitude.

The style of engagement with the adults and the curriculum ensures quality of experience. The children experience deep, intrinsic concentration and know how it feels to be actively involved in their own
learning process!

Problem solving and decision making procedures are made in the neo cortex part of the brain. Allowing for these processes to take place at an early age, stimulates the higher functioning. Analyzing and synthesizing are procedures that need practice! Together with the emotional awareness of having a level of control in one’s own life gives the development a great boost!
