Everything you need to know about Montessori, in one place!
Montessori pedagogy is much more than an educational method—it's a philosophy of life that respects the child's rhythm and encourages their autonomy from an early age. This dictionary was created to help parents, educators, and caregivers better understand this transformative approach. Here, you'll find clear and objective explanations of key Montessori terms, materials, and principles, making it easier to apply this knowledge in your daily life. In addition to definitions, this space organizes each concept that connects to Montessori practice, whether in the organization of the environment, the way materials are presented, or the way children are observed and supported in their development.
