Montessori focuses on the self-education of children through its original teaching aids. The major difference between Montessori and mainstream education is that when a child needs to do something, he or she does not say, “Mom, help me do it. Instead, she says, “Help me do it myself, so I can do it by myself. Everyone’s skills and confidence are gained through practice. If parents help out at this point, helping over and over again, children will not have the opportunity to practice and build confidence, and they will not be able to grow independently.

pposed the traditional teacher-centered education, education should be child-centered. Because Montessori believes that children have great potential, the development of children’s lives is towards independence, should create a “children’s world” centered on them, so that they can independently “be themselves” so that they can independently explore and learn.

Montessori education is an educational method developed by Italian psychologist and educationist Maria Montessori. For children from birth to 18 years of age. The characteristics of the Montessori education method are that it emphasizes independence, limited freedom, and respect for children’s natural psychological, physiological and social development.
