What is the difference between a traditional kindergarten and a Montessori kindergarten?

The difference in the way of teaching.

The teaching method of traditional kindergarten is that a teacher speaks at the top and many children listen below, which cannot guarantee that every child has absorbed the content of the teacher. The teaching method of Montessori Kindergarten is child-centered, the role of the teacher is to observe, help and guide, and the teacher will adopt a different teaching method according to the different stages of development of each child.

In traditional kindergartens, the environment of the classroom is only required to be neat and clean, and less attention is paid to other aspects. Montessori kindergarten classrooms are prepared according to the age characteristics of the children, in addition to the furniture is clean and tidy, but also in an orderly manner, and the children will put themselves back in place after using the teaching aids and carry out other activities. Help your child build a sense of order.

Traditional kindergartens are generally clean and tidy, and there are no level requirements, while Montessori classrooms are cultivated according to the age of children, and on the basis of neat and clean rooms, they are also very orderly, which can cultivate children to be able to put used items back in place, giving children a sense of order.

While traditional kindergartens focus on books every day, Montessori kindergartens are mainly child-centered, developing children through a variety of content and giving them the space to explore freely.

I feel that in traditional kindergartens, teachers mostly talk to children and listen, while Montessori kindergartens generally teach children and children do it. The approach to education is different.

After so many years of development, Montessori Education has created a very mature curriculum system, and the classroom is more extensive, and children can get multi-faceted development in daily life, sensory, Chinese, mathematics, and culture. Traditional kindergartens will also have some teaching aids, but as long as they are still based on the teacher's teaching.

Older children in Montessori mixed-age classes will spontaneously help the younger ones, and the younger children will be able to learn from the work of the older children. Most of the traditional kindergartens are divided into classes according to the age group, which is generally divided into large classes, middle classes, and small classes, and there will be corresponding restrictions on the age of entering the kindergarten.

Personally, I still prefer Montessori kindergarten, because they have their own set of teaching methods, through a variety of teaching aids so that children can get a good exercise in all aspects, so that children can play middle school, without too much learning pressure, traditional kindergartens also have their own teaching aids, but children are mainly taught by teachers.

I have two babies, the eldest Nian's traditional kindergarten, and the second Nian's Montessori kindergarten. In contrast, I think Montessori Kindergarten is more suitable for children. Because in Montessori Kindergarten, I feel that the child is very happy, loves to go to the kindergarten, and the child's development in all aspects is also very comprehensive!

Now there are many similar places, as long as it is a good kindergarten, in fact, the way and method are from the child, for the child to choose a kindergarten must go in to see. Talk to your teacher, the principal.

As follows:

Difference 1: Educational philosophy.

Montessori. Kindergarten: The principle of free learning motivated by self-humanization.

Traditional kindergartens: emphasis on knowledge transfer and skill training, not taking into account children's personality development.

In traditional education, children are taught in a group class, at the same time children are taught by the teacher to learn the same knowledge, whether the child likes it or not, he can only passively accept, the child's ability to accept things is different, some fast, some slow, but the teacher can not be trapped in the differentiated teaching according to the child's situation.

And Montessori education.

More attention is paid to individualized development, that is, the Montessori learning path is not through group lessons, children are not forced to learn, and children are not forced to learn what they don't like, the role of the teacher is not to indoctrinate but to guide , in the Montessori classroom the teaching aids are open, and each child will be free to choose their own favorite work to carry out.

Difference 2: Team establishment.

Montessori Kindergarten: Mixed-age group to promote the common development of children of all ages.

Traditional kindergarten: divided into classes according to different age groups, generally divided into large, medium and small classes.

Most of the ordinary kindergartens are divided according to the age group, which is generally divided into large, medium and small, and there will be corresponding restrictions on the age of entering the kindergarten. The Montessori kindergarten implements a mixed-age system, that is, 0-3 mixed ages, 3-6 years old.

Montessori believed that mixed-age classes were conducive to children's interaction and cooperation. Usually older toddlers will spontaneously help younger toddlers, especially when they realize that what they are doing will be repeated by younger children, and they will ask themselves to model positive, positive behaviors for younger children, and younger toddlers.

can draw inspiration and role models from the work of older children.

Difference 3: Teaching environment.

Traditional kindergarten: a clean, tidy and ordinary classroom environment.

Montessori kindergartens also have many differences from regular kindergartens in terms of classroom environment. In ordinary kindergartens, the setting of the environment is usually only neat and clean, and there is not much attention paid to other aspects.

In Montessori Kindergarten, the classroom is the environment, and Montessori Kindergarten focuses on providing a prepared environment for children, and the Montessori classroom is divided into seven areas: daily life area, sensory area, language area, mathematics area, cultural area, art area, and reading corner. All kinds of teaching aids are prepared in each area for children to choose their work freely.

Ordinary kindergartens are a little better.

Kindergarten education should focus on cultivating children's interest in reading, and help children read in the company of parents and teachers. Secondly, school teachers should also improve their own cultural literacy, read more books, read more, and enrich their cultural connotations. In addition, it is necessary to cultivate children's living habits in the preschool period, and good living habits are easy to develop in early childhood and can accompany children for a lifetime.

In the early childhood education stage, it is a very important educational goal for children to form good character and behavioral habits, and they are also preschool teachers.

How to guide children to form a good character is an important topic that teachers must study in depth.

Early childhood is a sensitive period in a person's life, and it is also the foundation period for learning how to behave, therefore, strengthening the cultivation of children's good character, so that children can develop a good character and behavioral habits, which has a very important impact on the growth of children's life.

Montessori.

Montessori education is Montessori education.

Abbreviation. The founder is Maria.

Montessori. Her pedagogy.

It is based on a belief in the creative potential of the child, the child's motivation to learn, and the power and confidence of being a person. Montessori education is child-centered, mixed-age education, following children's development, encouraging children to focus, paying equal attention to body and brain harmony, diversified environmental layout, focusing on cultivating independence, encouraging children to find mistakes, focusing on real experience, and individual interaction between teachers and students.

Traditional kindergarten education. Traditional preschool education is teacher-centered, classifying grades by age, learning the same content, limited learning time, separation of mental and physical strength, unified arrangement by teachers, teacher evaluation and scoring, relying on memory learning, and teachers teaching intensively.

Montessori kindergarten children are more independent and have more ideas. They know how to follow the rules, they know that they are free under the rules, and they have relatively more ideas.

Montessori classes are generally mixed-age, and younger children have self-care and learning skills.

Their communication skills will be a little worse, and they will follow the example of the older children in the class and catch up faster. Older children learn to take care of their younger siblings and set an example for them.

Montessori pays more attention to the development of children's personalities, so that children can grow up in a more relaxed and comfortable environment, and the teaching is more entertaining. When children attend Montessori classes, they will also educate parents to grow up with their children, and they will always be on the same channel with their children, so that they will get along more closely.

Non-compliant.

Public kindergartens generally follow the relevant national regulations and regulations on early childhood education. Montessori education is a special way of education, and its educational philosophy and methods are different from the traditional early childhood education. Therefore, the main reason why public kindergartens cannot use Montessori education is because it does not comply with the education laws and regulations of the country.

Public kindergartens are funded by the first to build, manage and operate early childhood education institutions, is set up for the needs of all walks of life for early childhood education.
