It is based on observations of the true nature of the child.

It reveals the child as a lover of work, both of the intellect and mastery of the body (especially the hand). This work is spontaneously chosen and carried out with profound joy.

It provides suitable activities based on vital urges of the child at each stage of development.

Each stage is successfully mastered before the next is attained. Each child works at his/her own pace. The quick are not held back, nor are the slowed pressured. There is much opportunity for group work and the child spontaneously offers help with work they have mastered to those children who have not.

It enables the teacher to guide each child individually in each subject according to his/her own individual requirements. It allows the child to grow in biological independence by respecting his/her needs and removing undue influence of the adult.

It allows the child a large measure of liberty based on respect for the right of others. This liberty is not permissive license, but form of the basis of self-discipline.

The child works from his/her own free choice. This choice is preceded by knowledge and it thus a real choice.

The Montessori Method develops the whole personality of the child, not merely their intellectual faculties, but also their power, deliberation, initiative and independent choice, with their emotional complements. By living as a member of a real social community, the child is trained in those fundamental social qualities that form the basis of good citizenship.
