International Journal of Global Environmental Issues, 2024, vol. 23, issue 2/3, 319-355

Abstract: This article aims at opening up the practice of Montessori pedagogy for babies and children to a wider readership. The article is divided into a general theoretical part and a practical part, followed by a concise summary of the entire content. Firstly, all the principles of Montessori pedagogy are explained, because Montessori is about much more than just certain activities and Montessori toys. Rather, it is a holistic philosophy, a way of looking at and understanding the world. The importance of both discipline and freedom, space, play and work, opens for growth during all developmental phases of the child and the fascinating nature of their mind. Secondly, many specific activities are presented and in which age certain activities are recommended. Thirdly, the entire content is summarised again briefly and comprehensibly.
