Between ages 3 and 6, the child continues to develop autonomy and builds increasingly personal motivation. At this stage, it is no longer only about acting, but also about choosing. The child learns to follow their interests, select an activity, and complete it. At this age, it’s no longer just about acting, but also about choosing. Children learn to listen to their interests, select an activity and see it through to completion.
The objectives offered in the classroom always follow the major stages of their development. Each material meets a specific need and allows for step-by-step progression. Children thus advance daily in their learning, with caring support from adults.
Montessori materials play an essential role here. Designed to be concrete and accessible, they allow children to understand through experience and, most importantly, to self-correct. Mistakes are not experienced as failure or fault: they become a true learning tool. They help children observe, adjust their movements, refine their understanding and try again differently.
This approach nurtures deep inner motivation. Children act not to obtain external rewards, but because they feel the satisfaction of progressing on their own. They gradually discover the pleasure of effort, concentration and accomplished work. This satisfaction then becomes a lasting source of inner motivation.
