During preschool years, Montessori wanted to develop a better way to assist the children in hopes that they would be able to preform better in school. The key points and the critique of the method will be discussed. Supporting social, biological and cognitive domains, this method is unique in supporting the education of children. Focusing on development stages of early childhood, this method applies that children should not be subjected to tests and grading. Based on a child’s desire to learn, encouragement of learning should be present. Montessori’s method believed that each child possessed an inner power that motivates them to seek out specific activities and interactions(Certini, 2012). Children were free to learn and discover in their own unique way yet still disciplined enough to focus on tasks (Certini, 2012). Children achieved auto-education and worked independently using wooden letters, numbers, cylinders, blocks, beads, rods, puzzles, gymnastic equipment, mental objects, and household items, rather than learning in a traditional lesson (Certini, 2012). A child should be interested enough in education to want to throw themselves into it. Children are treated as unique individuals and there is an emphasis that a child learns through discovery.
