Idayimani Montessori Academy focuses on the 3–6 age group and is considered a formative period in Montessori. Children at this stage absorb information from their environment effortlessly — often called the “absorbent mind” phase. Maria Montessori designed a prepared environment that supports the child’s independence, concentration, coordination, and order.
Children aged 3–6 learn from each other. Older children develop leadership; younger children learn by observing.
Children choose activities, but within a structured environment.
Everything is done through physical interaction with materials.
“Help me do it myself” is the core principle.
Teachers observe rather than dictate.
