Cosmic education at home

The sensorial curriculum holds a significant place in Montessori methodology, because people experience their environment through their senses. They are driven to develop and refine senses from birth to gain a fuller and more productive relationship with the environment. Overall, sensorial education is intended to provide the child with a structure, vocabulary, concentration, sense of order and ultimately intellect.

"The stars, earth, stones, life of all kinds form a whole in relation with each other, and so close is the relation that we cannot understand a stone without some understanding of the great sun! No matter what we touch, an atom, or a cell, we cannot explain it without knowledge of the wide universe."

“If the idea of universe is presented to the child in the right way, it will do more for him than just arose his interest, for it will create in him admiration and wonder, a feeling loftier than any interest and more satisfying."

Maria Montessori considered practical life activities, also called exercises of practical life, to be fundamental to a child's development. These activities are an increasingly challenging series of motor tasks involving practical real-life goals, such as cleaing a table, washing a plate, or polishing shoes. In addition to helping children master everyday tasks, the aim of practical life activites is to develop a child's independence, body control and coordination of movement, concentration, and sense of order.
