STRODE MONTESSORI

The Montessori classroom is specifically designed to allow for freedom of movement for the child. Through movement, children are able to explore their world. The teachers lay out the materials in the Montessori classroom logically and in an orderly fashion, but it is the children’s job to use them. The Montessori method recognizes how important it is to realize one’s place in the world and to be able to figure out how to function as a part of one’s own community. In being able to accomplish this, one can accomplish independence, which is the true goal of the student. Therefore, freedom and movement is a unique and crucial aspect of the Montessori classroom.
