DIY Montessori-On-Demand: Practical Life | Foundational Skills | Part 1, empowers learners' practical life skills, fosters independence, and builds self-confidence through Montessori principles. Our classes are built with activities to help your learners discover the wonders of their worlds'. Let's learn together! We are proud to be the first and only accredited Montessori school on the Outschool platform, featuring certified teachers who bring their expertise from our brick-and-mortar school located in Ontario, Canada. In PART ONE of this engaging course, you will explore foundational Montessori practical life skills such as preparing workspaces, cleaning up, opening and closing, folding, and self-dressing. Children will learn how to integrate these activities into daily routines, enhancing fine motor skills, self-help abilities, and confidence through hands-on practice. The course is divided into weekly units, each focusing on a distinct aspect of practical life skills. Each unit includes carefully crafted video content that explains the purpose of the activity, the materials needed, and the step-by-step process. Additionally, videos are complemented by printable resources (as needed) to provide an easy alternative to the authentic Montessori material. Throughout the videos, presenter tips offer valuable insights and suggestions to maximize the effectiveness of each activity. Our videos demonstrate how to create Montessori materials using common supplies, eliminating the need to purchase additional resources. Students are highly encouraged to actively participate by reviewing the class content and applying Montessori methods at home, fostering a collaborative and hands-on learning experience that deepens understanding and engagement. Our teaching style is designed to be fun, engaging, and productive. The self-paced format allows you to learn at your convenience while interacting with practical and dynamic exercises. The videos and resources are structured to provide a comprehensive understanding of each activity, ensuring that you feel confident in the activities. While this course is self-paced, you’re not alone on this journey. Learners have the opportunity to book individual meetings with the teacher to ask questions, seek guidance, or receive personalized feedback. This ensures that you have the support you need to effectively implement Montessori principles and activities in your home. Through this course, children will nurture their practical life skills with the Montessori approach, making everyday tasks both enjoyable and educational. Join us in fostering your independence and confidence through purposeful, hands-on learning experiences.
