Montessori education is a holistic education that takes into consideration children’s connection to their environment. Understanding other living organisms is essential in many aspects. Therefore, the study of zoology takes place in the early years of primary school, around age three.
Studies show that exposure to nature has a significant positive impact on a child’s cognitive, social, physiological, and emotional development. In Montessori education, botany is an integral part of the program. Children are encouraged to take nature walks regularly and observe in real life how nature unfolds. Because children receive formal education about the characteristics and the needs of living organisms such as plants, they are well aware and enthusiastic about their surroundings. This post aims to demonstrate how Alison’s Montessori Curriculum Materials are comprehensive, scaffolded, satisfying years of learning.
