“Montessori.” The word alone can conjure images of overanxious parents jostling to get their 3-year-old into an expensive, exclusive preschool in order to ensure the child’s future suc- cess. Yet, the hype often obscures what Maryland educators and parents con- tinue to find: A Montessori education, with its emphasis on engaging children by tapping into their innate curiosity, remains a powerful method for devel- oping students who can think deeply and independently. Features of Montessori An educational philosophy devel- oped by Dr. Maria Montessori at the turn of the last century, the Montessori method incorporates a number of unique features. One of those is the mixed-age class- room, in which children spanning two or more commonly three grades are grouped together. Lainie Santos Tor- res, curriculum coordinator at Love of Learning Montessori School in Colum- bia, said that while they’re sometimes misunderstood as children teaching children, in practice mixed-age class- rooms are effective because they allow children to not only solidify their learning by sharing it with other stu- dents, but also to gain exposure to the concept of mentoring. “If you look at a lot of the big-name companies of today … they’re using a lot of [mentorship] models,” Torres said. “To have children do it is really just modeling real life.” MONTESSORI INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN’S HOUSE Another feature of Montessori Students at the Montessori International Children’s House in Annapolis provide the inspiration for their instruction, Administrative Director schools is the specially prepared envi- Elizabeth Whitaker says.
