The issue of education was, is and will be a burning issue and always in the forefront. There are different views on how it should be an educational system. One of these views is also of Maria Montessori. The Maria Montessori was born in 1870 in Italy, studied medicine and then Pedagogy, Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Rome. Later Maria stated that it must unite all these sciences in order to help children with mental retardation in their integration at school. Thus she applied the Montessori system in children who she noticed that they could not keep pace with the rest students due to the educational system that existed then in Italy. Later on she organized early childhood education centers, "child 's home". There the children …show more content…

More or less all the children in the world are going to the kindergarten. It is a step before the elementary school, until the age of 5-6. Many countries have already incorporated in their educational systems the term of kindergarten as part of compulsory education before they can be able to move on to the other parts of school. Other countries they take kindergarten as a morph of “Daycare” due to the fact that is actually a part of preparation of the child for his next steps to school, but he cannot just move directly so in the kindergarten must have the same feeling as to its home. There, instead of their parents they would be other adults (kindergarten teachers) who will be responsible for them. Friedrich Wilhelm August Fröbel (1782-1852), a German educationalist, was the founder of the Kindergarten system. His inspiration comes through nature. As a lonely boy at his first years, due to the lack of time his parents had, he ended up to the conclusion that the people are creatures constructive and lucrative. Kindergarten activities are mainly based to playing. Through playing children can learn things easily, for example how to study for mathematics and computer science and also to develop skills on arts. Furthermore, though playing a child has the opportunity to know better the world around him by making his first friendships and by observation of the atmosphere that he lives.

On the other hand, the Montessori Method has as an aim to develop the individuality of every child. The next clear difference between those two systems is their bases (backgrounds). On the Kindergarten System the background is based on philosophy and in general faced to the humanitarian level. Οn the contrary the Montessori Method is based on scientific background (Doctor/ Physician). In addition to this, Kindergarten system is focused on giving instructors to children while the Montessori system is focused on helping the child to make things on its own. So the role of the teacher in the first case has leading character and sees the child as a plant and in the second one helping character and faces the child with absolute confidence in his capabilities. (Merit Res. J. Edu. Rev. , 2013, p. 261-262) In a non-Montessori classroom, pacing is up to the teacher and every class lasts from 20 to 45 minutes. Also all the children are focusing to the same thing no matter what their needs are and all of them stop by the ringing of the bell. (Lillard, 2005). (Mallett & Schroeder

With Sugar the struggle was easy, yet with Silvia a lot more difficult. It was children like Silvia that Ms. Moore knew she would have to be a bit more extreme in not only teaching her verbally, but also showing her the difference in knowing the “real meaning of money, how to earn it and spend it”. As an educator, the challenge doesn’t only apply to the immediate family. The challenge also surrounds it self by environmental and media factors including but not limited to music, thus as a child until someone comes along and takes the time to explain and physically show you your ultimate options you could potentially remain still. Ms. Moore knew that and with that she took the children to “F.A.O. Schwarz” in New York.

Education is at the forefront of most new parent’s minds, which is why there is so much pressure on choosing a good preschool. Parents want to make sure that they give their children the best possible start to education, in order to create a solid foundation for success late in life. However, in society today, expectations placed on preschoolers are becoming more demanding, a trend that could have many negative consequences on the development of children. This idea is discussed in the article The New Preschool is Crushing Kids written by Erika Christakis. Christakis interconnects the audience, speaker, and subject as well as uses appeals to logic, emotion, and credibility to craft a strong and effective argument about how preschool has started to place too many expectations on preschoolers.

There are many aspects of society that can be compared when doing an analysis of three cultures: socio-economic statuses, occupations, fertility rates, diets, religions, economics, and politics are few among many. Education, and particularly early childhood education, is a fascinating topic to study when conducting a comparison because it has elements of all traits and greatly mirrors the values of the culture of that which it is present, “Preschools are sites where a variety of domains, interests, and social actors intersect. Preschool is where child rearing meets education; where the world of parents and home first meets the world of teachers and school” (Tobin, Hsueh, & Karasawa, 2009, p. 2).

Even if you’re not involved in their play it offers a sense of reassurance to children. You can also support a play based approach to learning by encouraging children to play with things they may not have played with before e.g playing with the resource yourself alongside the child. If a child sees what you can do with the resource then they are more likely to eventually participate along side you, copying what you are doing. 4.3 Evaluate different materials and equipment to support play based learning opportunities for children in their early years

I agree that play-based learning offers diverse opportunities for children to explore, discover and create, they can also discover new things and communicate with peer during free-play time. Frobel said that “Play is the highest expression of human development in childhood, for it alone is the free expression of what is in a child 's soul” (Froebel, 1887). He believed in the importance of play in a child’s learning as creative activity. Play provided the means for a child’s intellectual, social, emotional and physical development which are necessary elements in educating the “whole” children allowing them to use all imaginative powers and physical movements to explore their interests.

In Reggio Emilia approach, there are many strengths as it supports children that a child’s image is viewed as having rights and not just needs and child has been viewed as beautiful, competent, powerful, curious, creative as well as full of ambitious desires and potentials. In addition, it supports children’s individual differences and needs, documentation that Reggio teachers collect about their students and a mix of long- and short term projects which provide students with a deeper understanding of the subject matter. While the strength in Montessori curriculum is children are 5 prepared for the real world, where they work side by side with people of all ages, they develop self-discipline, independence and analytical thinking, all materials in a Montessori classroom have a proper place, and it is the responsibility of each student to properly store their materials when they are done to maintain order, independence is greatly emphasized and focuses on individual intelligences. The weakness point in Montessori and Reggio Emilia Curriculum: There are some weakness point in Reggio Emilia approach such as this approach puts a lot of emphasis on the importance of large space as is considered educational, Reggio Emilia schools are found in wealthy countries and are attended by children from wealthy families while the poor cannot opt for the Reggio Emilia approach, public schools get limited funding while private schools mostly focus on results and not process and also the

I will also discuss how they prepare the child physically, intellectually, linguistically morally, emotionally and socially as well as to be a confident, self-motivated global citizen, in secondary school and beyond. “The goal of Cosmic Education is to guide the child toward an initial examination of the question, who am I?” (Duffy & Duffy, 2002) Cosmic Education is the methodology used to help the child

As a teacher, it is my responsibility to share information on the development of the child and have a clear and constant flow of dialogue with the family. This will enable both parties to deal with any issues that may arise within the family, school or community. It also my belief that parents should have an active part in their child’s learning and be able to lend a hand whenever necessary, and having open communication with them will allow this transparency and connection between home and school. The community is vital in ensuring that the facilities around the community and school is appropriate for the different children and families to live in and grow. A very good example of this successful collaboration is the Reggio Emilia approach in Italy.
