They offer individual and small-group lessons, showing children how to use the materials and perform activities with them, and giving them precise language to understand their experiences.

Because of the carefully prepared environment and individualized support, children in a Montessori class have tremendous liberty to explore the environment and work on materials of their choice for as long as they want.
