Knowledge can be acquired through different means, either systematic or disorganized. An array of education systems prevail in our societies, most of which encourage nothing but blind mug-ups. Conventional education enhances memory power alone. Education in a true sense is expected to aim at holistic upbringing of a child’s standards. Many a times, this remains a mere mirage and students learn solely the art of “by-hearting”. Montessori methods of teaching tarnish this rather rude approach by providing children a fertile environment for growing up to glory. Envisaged by a great visionary, Maria Montessori, the method is proclaimed the world over. Children at early years of their childhood are put to respond naturally to their tendencies to work. They are made to get acquainted with whole lot of apparatus, classified as Sensorial Material, Arithmetic Material, Language Material so on and so forth. The young children enjoy handling apparatus of their taste, inadvertently instilling in themselves, cognitive skills and enhanced mental abilities. The teachers turn out to be guides who intervene in children’s activities less and less as they develop. In this atmosphere, where quality meets freedom, children find their own comfortable space to work. Still, there is an air of balance between liberty and discipline. The children grow up as responsible citizens, accountable to whatever they ought to be.
