The Application of Montessori Teaching Method in the Connection between Preschool and Primary School Aesthetic Education

Abstract

The unique charm of Montessori pedagogy stems from a thorough understanding and research of young children, centered around the child, creating a "prepared environment" that guides children to work independently, stimulating their autonomous awareness, developing abilities such as independence, concentration, creativity, and social skills, and promoting comprehensive growth and development. The transition from kindergarten to primary school has always been of great concern. Everything in primary school is new, and how should young children face these new challenges? Children need to be prepared, possessing the necessary abilities before entering primary school, and Montessori pedagogy can bring certain value to this end. In Montessori classrooms, children work independently in a prepared environment, developing self-discipline and a sense of order. Mixed-age class learning is established to promote social development and find self-positioning. As children grow physically and mentally, they integrate and develop the experiences acquired during kindergarten, practicing better in primary school learning and life. Montessori pedagogy brings numerous beneficial impacts to Montessori children, helping them smoothly navigate the transition phase from kindergarten to primary school.
