Best for Your Child Montessori or Daycare? As a
known person about the Age of Montessori team, I
am well aware of the benefits of Montessori
education, like maximizing the potential of the
absorbent mind, sensitive periods and prepared
environment, to name just a few. However, there
are days when I still cant turn off the voices
in my head that tell me I am making a mistake and
not to let go of him. Regardless of that, I put
on my tough face, tell him I love you, give a
big hug and wave to him in the window as I ride
away. The harder I peddle the easier it is to
fight back the tears. The Best Time to
Begin Montessori explains that the period of the
absorbent mind is from conception to age 6. Early
childhood Montessori education begins between
ages 2½ and 3, depending on the child. Many
schools only accept children after their third
birthday. This being said, the ideal solution
for any Montessori education prior to an early
childhood program is having a Montessori
environment and practices at home. Parents are
the childs first teacher, after all. In the
first two years, children are making assumptions
about the world around them based on the
relationships that they have with their
caretakers. Meet the childs needs with love
and patience, and she will come to learn that her
world is a place where she is important and
understood. Daily activities like grocery
shopping, cooking, going for walks and going to
the bank help her understand how to interact
properly with others in her environment. This is
the childs introduction to practical life
routines. I dont think anyone would argue that
the ideal main caretaker is a parent, but these
are modern times where in many families both
parents work and a nanny or Daycare is necessary.
As a parent, it is wise to educate yourself about
the Montessori Method and message, and to design
your home environment to function with beauty,
order, respect and peace. Any hired nanny should
be properly educated on the inner workings of
your babys environment. Copy relevant articles
for your nanny to read that will help him or her
provide the best care for your little one. Some
important topics to cover are independence,
discipline, order, outside time and the childs
daily routine. If Daycare center is the route
you take for child care, search for one that
follows Montessori principles. We are in the
middle of a Montessori revival and the awareness
is trickling down into child care centres across
the country, so it is often easier to find a
Montessori-like Daycare than one would think.
More and more child-care centres are being asked
to provide early education for youngsters, not
just a safe and loving environment. Enjoy the
Ride There is a different balance that works for
every family, but to answer this mothers
question, I would say that rather than sending
your child to a Montessori school, create a
Montessori environment at home and watch your
child thrive in it. Enjoy the close relationship
with your child at this age because all too soon
your youngsters hands will pull away. Toddlers
squirm out of snuggles and are suddenly capable
of performing even the most challenging daily
tasks without you. As Maria Montessori said, The
greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be
able to say, The children are now working as if
I dont exist. This too is the parents goal
prepare your child to succeed in life without you.
