Using concrete, hands-on materials in the classroom allows the child to engage all their senses, learn to control their movements, and understand the value of perseverance in achieving success. 

An Authentic Montessori school will have materials in the classroom that were crafted according to Dr. Montessori’s explicit directions to support and nurture the child’s development.
