The Best Place for learning

A couple years ago I was asked from one of my favourite mentor – where is the best place for a child to learn most of their life time knowledge? The right answer is “HOME”. It’s a place where your child learns the most from, a place where they spend most of their life time in. Hence, the ones who spend time at home are the teacher of this child. Your child is born to be like you, they absorb all good and bad that is from you. We as a parent has brought them into the world and all parents would like their child to be independent and most importantly to be independent as soon as they can be.

The greatest sign of success for a teacher... is to be able to say, ’The children are now working as if I did not exist.’ – Maria Montessori

We were approached by one of the consultant from Little Montessorian when our daughter was 6 months old. From then, our home has only Montessori materials and books from library. The parental classes provided are very helpful and have helped us to direct our child to use. For our daughter, the materials are her “toys” and there are different ways to stimulate her interest in learning. For us, it is a medium to bond with our daughter. We are very pleased about how our child mastered her fine motor skill so easily and she can write on paper when she was 18 months. She loves to entertain herself with the materials and we love to direct her into new ways in the materials.
