Parents might wonder:" How can my children learning without using books?"
Montessori School can do this compares to traditional/ common kindergarten.
Let me tell you how?
Montessori Apparatus are very powerful, they can attract children to touch, feel, smell, hear or even hold them. In other words, Montessori apparatus take cares of children senses.
Children will be attracting by Montessori apparatus because the colours of the apparatus are sharp. Children can easily take and work with the apparatus because they are light. Children can
learn through Montessori apparatus because they will have fun when they are working on them. Example as below:
I remember when i was in my nursery year, i never learn 100/1000 in mathematics, even if the school taught, i will become so confused on the calculation. However, in Montessori school children learn 100/1000 in their age of 4-4.5 by using the Montessori apparatus. The golden beads of 1000 is create in the square, big square. all in gold colour and when children hold the golden beads, they can feel the weight of 1/10/100/1000. By touching and holding the beads, they can differentiate the unit/ ten/hundred and thousand according to the weight of the beads.
they can even count by using the beads.
Maybe you might want to try out this amazing power in your nearest Montessori school?

Maria Montessori
I think Maria Montessori is a mother of all children. No offence, but yes. I personally think so, even i am the mother of a 9 months old baby.
As a mother, i know how hard it is, how tired to take care of children? However, Maria Montessori believe that all children can take care of themselves if they are giving freedom of choice, time to practice, space to practice the material/ activities h/she needs or wants to.
But do you (as a mother) will let your 2.5-3 years old children tie his or her own shoe lace? or will you let your 2 years old children serve the plate when meal time? Will you let your own children feed themselves while they are eating slowly?
I guess the answer would be no no no?
Before i know Montessori, my thinking is also same like Every mother, don't let the children walk around, the world are not safe out there. Or don't let the children helps in kitchen, it is dangerous. Unfortunately, this kind of attitude might not help the children, but children will lose their confidence, or it could be more worst. How can he/ she exercise his or her hands eyes coordination if everything also not allow but only allow to watch television in the living room.
Maria Montessori create/ making all the materials to help the children. Her materials are benificial. Until now, we are still using her method In all Montessori School.
Eventhough not many parents can totally accept Montessori method in Malaysia, but its really prove that children who had studied in Montessori School can learn faster rather than the children who are not. I said so because i had observed this when i was taught in my 1st Montessori School. The children who studied 2 years in montessori school ( who actually only 3 years old) can actually do a 6 years old children mathematic calculation.
Amazing ya?? So i really must salute to Dr Maria Montessori, who is brave and intelligent. She helps the children to learn through the easy ways. I am sure one day my girl will be getting some benifits through Montessori apparatus when she is time for school.

Why teaching?
In Malaysia, not many people willing to work as teacher in kindergarten. A lot of people thinks this job is pay less but hard work. Especially taking care of the young children is not an easy job, you have to take care of their cleanliness, health and safety.
I've joined one of the largest pay-per-view TV station after graduate, I really enjoy this job in my 1st year. Unfortunately, I'm not the type of person who can continue working night shift, i feel headache. So i have decided to take up the early childhood course.
The course taught me a lot about children, this course also gave me many chances to mix around with children. This also let me learn some idea on teaching.
After the course, i have join the montessori school. The experience in school is totally different from the study world, this is the 1st time i really facing the whole group of chilren rather than 1 to 1.
Anyway, they are still an angel(s) for me. I feels more happy in School compares to the TV station job... headace gone!
