Cleaning & Food Preparation

Cleaning & Food Preparation - Montessori

In Maria Montessori's approach to early childhood education, she believed that children naturally enjoy doing tasks, even if adults see them as chores.

The Cleaning Activities, such as sweeping and dusting, teach kids about keeping things tidy and make them feel proud of their surroundings.

Food Preparation, like peeling vegetables or setting the table, help kids develop useful skills and make them feel capable and independent.

These simple everyday activities are more than just chores—they contribute to a child's overall development, shaping their character and habits; helping to build focus and understanding of the importance of order and sequence.

Maria Montessori's method emphasizes the importance of these simple, practical tasks in helping young children learn and grow.
