以智慧之愛培育心靈胚胎

Since Infinity Children’s World introduced Montessori Parent Education to Hong Kong over 4 years ago, more and more parents recognize the value of this approach, and some Montessori schools have been given a second life in terms of enrollment demands. All of a sudden, many kindergartens or classrooms use the “Montessori corner” as a selling point, and some manufacturers even sell “Montessori materials and toys”. Unfortunately, many of these so-called Montessori classes and materials lack substance. Worse still, Montessori has been misused by entrepreneurs to hasten children’s development, creating a lot of misconception about the central ideas of this educational philosophy. Parents have been misled to focus only on the superficial use of materials, missing the true spirit behind Dr. Montessori’s ideals.

Based on long-term observation and experimentation, Italian educator Dr. Maria Montessori developed a whole-person educational approach and philosophy. She also designed a system of concrete learning materials that supports children’s physical and psychological development. Her approach takes a drastically different point of view on education compared to traditional schools.
