Parents always want the best for their children. Matter of fact, they would like to have the best of everything for their children, including educational opportunities. However, not every parent knows what qualities an education system has. Therefore, as a child's education starts with Montessori, we have taken the liberty to devise a comprehensive checklist of the qualities a properly functioning Montessori needs to have.
The number of children in a single class should not exceed 35 children, and the ideal number should stay between 28 and 35. It should also be kept in mind that the children in the same class should be within three years of age of each other, so the social development is appropriate.
It is considered appropriate for a younger child to attend a Montessori five mornings per week, and five full days a week for children above four years of age. Moreover, three uninterrupted hours of Montessori activities are required every morning, while two hours are required in the afternoon.
A Primary environment should have children from 3 years to 6 years of age. On the other hand, an Elementary environment should have children from 6 to 9 years of age and/or 9 to 12 years of age.
Even though all these characteristics are a must-have in the best Montessori, a parent should always visit the Montessori before enrolling their child into one. Take a close look at the system and then finalize your decision for your child.
