Age 0-6
At this age children imitate, they literally absorb, the life
around them. The 3-6 environment is not called a school,
but a "Casa dei Bambini", or "House of Children".
In the 3-6 class, the "Casa dei Bambini",
each child is welcome with a "Good morning"
and a handshake, and then looks around
and finds something interesting to do.
He is treated with respect, and not
corrected or embarrassed.
A Montessori 3-6 environment is truly a
House of Children. Children are free to choose
their tasks, ideally both inside and outside in
the fresh air. The adult is constantly observing
and striving to meet the physical, mental and
emotional needs. And, once they have begun
to concentrate on a bit of work, the adult respects
this choice and concentration and does not interrupt.
