My Montessori Story - Pt. 3
Some people misinterpret Montessori education to mean your child will have too much freedom and can do whatever they want. That isn’t quite right. Although there is freedom to do a diverse assortment of activities or “work” as they call it in the classroom, there are boundaries. We call it “freedom within boundaries”. This allows the child to weave their natural interests into their academic learning.
