How the Montessori environment builds a child’s confidence
The Montessori environment supports children building their confidence by encouraging them to carry out age appropriate tasks for themselves, such as setting their place for lunch and choosing their own learning activities throughout the work cycle. Children are offered the freedom to choose activities within the prepared environment and this also develops their decision-making skills. As children become more competent making decisions, their confidence is further boosted.
The Montessori classroom is a safe environment where children can self-correct any mistakes made, as many materials have an in-built control of error allowing them to repeat activities until they have mastered any given skill. Children are encouraged to explore their environment according to their interests and needs, thus empowering them to feel more in control.
The nursery’s ground rules apply to everyone within the environment and children learn what is expected of them, such as tidying up their activity before choosing a different one. As adults, we role model desired behaviour and present materials to the children according to their capability and interests. As a Montessori nursery, we only introduce new tasks when we believe the child is ready to be further challenged.
In sum, the Montessori classroom is an incredibly supportive and encouraging environment where each and every child is valued and appreciated for their individuality.
