Montessori Environment
It is based on child's self-directed activity and learning through collaborative plays.

Students work individually or in small, self-selected groups. Focus is on child's learning not on teacher's teaching. Independence means to allow the child to do things by himself from the beginning of life within the limits.
𝟐: 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐄𝐧𝐯𝐢𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭:
Montessori environment is the house of children. It should not be confused with ordinary classroom. It is the place where they live like we do in our homes. The environment is designed to meet the needs, interests, abilities and development of the children.
𝟑: 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝 𝐬𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝:
