“Grown-ups think of play as a purposeless occupation that keeps children happy and out of mischief, but actually when children are left to play by themselves very little of their activity is purposeless. ”
~ Maria Montessori (Maria Montessori Speaks to Parents, p. 31)
The indoor Montessori classroom environment is made up of beautiful, carefully chosen materials, often made of natural materials and simple in design. The outdoor environment should be much the same, but provide more space for free movement to support a child’s physical development.
