«The greatest sign of success for a teacher is to be able to say: the children are working as if I didn't exist».

How can it be read in the description of the Montessori-style differentiated teaching, In a Montessori classroom, you will never find a teacher's desk or a blackboard indicating the teacher's position, because learning is conveyed by the entire environment and the teacher does not occupy a fixed spot, but rather moves around the appropriately distributed spaces of the classroom. Maria Montessori called the teacher the “directress of the classroom”.” because their role is different from that of a traditional teacher.

The class is born and is built by the teacher themselves, who organises all the cognitive development material in such a way that it is freely accessible to the child.

Around the child, therefore, a space is created, A space where the little one is free to respond to their natural interests, under the guidance and discreet observation of an adult with adequate specific training.

Children's innate passion for knowledge is encouraged by giving them the opportunity to engage spontaneously in various activities. Through their work, children develop concentration and a joyful self-discipline.
