The Montessori Triangle
Modernage believes that the Montessori triangle of the child – environment – teachers:
- Extends beyond the teacher and includes parents and the wider community, without undermining the key role the school plays in putting the child freely and independently into contact with the environment
- Facilitates opportunities for extending the children’s development and learning in and beyond the classroom
The most significant relationship in the triangle is that between the child and the environment.
