HOW IS MONTESSORI LEARNING DIFFERENT TO A PREPACKAGED HOMESCHOOL CURRICULUM?

Most homeschool curriculums are:

• Content-led: “Here’s what to teach this week”
• Adult-directed: the parent decides pace, sequence, and timing
• Outcome-focused: worksheets, levels, grades.

Montessori learning is:

• Child-led within structure and boundaries
• Developmentally timed (meets the brain where it is)
• Mastery-focused (deep understanding before moving on)

WHAT DO I GET?

We generally provide packs of content that cover a school term. The packs will cover a range of materials and ideas. 

In the pack will be an outline of the content to deliver along with what you need to monitor.

This material is built on traditional Montessori principles.

-There is not an 'allocated' amount of work per day to do. 

- Materials are printed and placed on a shelf for the child to choose from after they have had a lesson/s with you. You choose what to teach and when. 

- Children are expected to repeat materials as many times as needed for them to learn. They are not expected to do every single thing in a pack.

-Wherever possible a self correction is given, this means the child is not waiting for an adult to mark their work.  Simply put think of a traditional puzzle. With a puzzle if the child puts a piece in the wrong place they see that it is in the wrong place and move it to the right place. Our learning materials do this as well. Your learning materials will often have the ‘answer’ on the back so the child can see for themself how they are doing.

WHAT DO I NEED TO PROVIDE?

• Support and guidance for your child.
• You may wish to provide extra physical Montessori math materials to help, we can lend you some or you may wish to buy some. Wherever possible we will provide you ready to print, cut, and go materials.
• A shelf or area children can choose the materials/printables from
• You will need to print off the materials given. 

WHAT HAPPENS IF MY CHILD IS TAKING A LONG/SHORTER TIME TO GET THROUGH THE LEARNING MATERIAL?

We will be regularly checking in with you and help you with pacing if needed and add or modify learning materials if needed.
