Q. What is different about a Montessori classroom?

A. At first glance in a Montessori classroom, you will see so many busy children; you wonder how they stay so quiet. Because a child can choose his own activities, they remain interested and engaged in what they are learning. A teacher is always close by to help guide a child to their next lesson or answer any question. The room is always neat and tidy. The children also treat their materials with care and know that their work is complete when all materials have been put in their proper place.
