Celebrating Maria Montessori Day at school commemorates the legacy of the pioneering educator who transformed early childhood learning. The day typically starts with an assembly focusing on Montessori’s principles, such as child-centred learning, independence, and hands-on exploration.
Students take part in Montessori-inspired activities that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and self-directed study. These exercises embody the Montessori ethos of nurturing curiosity and allowing children to progress at their own pace.
Teachers also lead discussions on Maria Montessori’s life, her educational contributions, and the importance of fostering personal growth. This helps students appreciate how the Montessori method shapes their learning journey.
The day concludes with students sharing their projects and reflections, highlighting the impact of the Montessori approach. Celebrating Maria Montessori Day emphasises the value of a holistic education system that continues to influence learners worldwide.
