Our concept at Montessentials

Our products and our shop are based on the principles of Montessori education, a proven method that supports children's natural development and learning. We would like to make it clear that our products are not certified Montessori materials, but are based on the same educational principles.

principles of the Montessori idea

Maria Montessori developed a pedagogy based on the belief that children learn with intrinsic motivation when they can act in a stimulating environment. Central to this are:

  • promote independence

    Children learn to act independently and make decisions

  • respect individuality

    Every child develops at his or her own pace

  • Learning through Experience

    Understanding occurs through active and practical engagement with the environment

Benefits for Children

  • strengthening self-competence

    Children learn through their own actions, which promotes their self-confidence

  • promoting concentration

    Montessori materials support focused and deep work

  • Holistic Learning

    In addition to cognitive skills, social, emotional and motor skills are also promoted

The man behind Montessentials is Andreas, who has been running the Montessori children's house in Winterthur for years. As a certified educator of the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and a committed educator, Andreas brings his extensive experience and passion for Montessori education to our concept.
