As Maria Montessori argued, children aged 0 to 6 years old can assimilate naturally the things around them and this is called Absorbent Spirit.

For better cognitive performance was defined as “Sensitive Periods” for the child’s development and it is up to the prepared adult identify each period and guides the children to a better learning.

Movement

From 0 to 1 year old – The baby learns to master his gestures that in the beginning can not be controlled and slowly learns to hold, touch, turn around, balance up, crawl and walk.

Language

From 0 to 6 years old – The baby begins to vocalize sounds, babbling becomes words and finally sentences

Small Objects

From 1 to 4 years old – Children show interest in small objects and minute details, their eye-hand coordination becomes more refined and precise

Grace & Courtesy

From 2 to 6 years old – The kid loves to imitate the polished and respectful gestures. That’s how she appropriates these qualities. Good examples should be reinforced at this stage

Senses

From 2 to 6 years old – Sensory education begins from birth, but from 02 years old the child is fascinated by sensory experiences (vision, hearing, taste, smell and touch)

Writing

From 3 to 4 years old – Montessori found that the writing comes before reading. The child begins to reproduce the words and names on paper
