Freedom & Responsibility:

In Montessori classrooms, students have the freedom to choose their work, move around the classroom, communicate and work with others, dream, reflect, and imagine in the classroom. They will simply ask for help when needed.

Practical Life - Food Preparation:

When children begin to internalise the foundations of Practical Life, they seek ways to use their skills and assume broader responsibilities.
