The Montessori method emphasizes the importance of autonomy, freedom, and learning through direct experience. Children are encouraged to explore and discover in an environment that stimulates curiosity and critical thinking.
Bilingualism in children offers numerous benefits, both cognitive and social. Bilingual children develop superior language skills and enhanced problem-solving abilities. Moreover, exposure to different cultures enriches their experience and fosters an open-minded attitude.
School trips provide opportunities to learn in a setting different from the classroom, stimulating curiosity and interest. They also promote socialization among classmates, strengthening bonds and improving group dynamics.
The motor approach integrates physical movement with the psychological and cognitive aspects of the child. It focuses on developing harmony between mind and body, supporting emotional, social, and motor growth.
