The Benefits of a Mixed-Age Environment (Birth to 6)

1.5 CPDs, Time  41:23

This session is designed for Montessori educators to examine the benefits of the Mixed-age environment, which is a naturalized model for Montessori education. Having three-year cycles within our classrooms, allows children of varied ages to develop in a synchronistic fashion. By enhancing learning and creating an environment rich in language, practical life, social experiences, and the development of preferences, the students deeply benefit from a Multicultural experience. The mixed-age environment adds to the accomplishment of skills and the contribution to the classroom dynamic, the family, and the discovery of the self for all students and all ages.
