Culture
Connecting to the World and Its People
Montessori culture work introduces children to the wonders of geography, traditions, and nature. It fosters respect, curiosity, and a sense of belonging. Whether it's learning about the continents, different foods, or weather patterns, these lessons help children understand that they are part of a beautifully diverse world.
Why It Matters
Geography Awareness: Hands-on work with maps, globes, and puzzles introduces landforms and continents.
Seasonal Learning: Observing changes in weather, daylight, and temperature builds awareness of time and nature.
Global Connection: Music, food, and language from around the world help children appreciate different cultures.
Peace & Respect: Montessori teaches children to honor differences and care for the world and each other.
