AGE GROUPING
Dr. Montessori felt that the children were less inhibited when learning from their peers. There is mutual respect among the children, such as lack of competitiveness that allows them to learn from each other.

Montessori children are problem solvers who readily deal with change and challenges. Encouraged to make decisions from an early age, they develop independence, and good self-esteem, which enables a smooth transition into private or public environment.
