Cultural Activities
“Let us give the child a vision of the whole universe…for all things are part of the universe, and are connected with each other to form one unity.” -Dr. Montessori
Maria Montessori taught what she called the “cosmic curriculum”. She believed that the child would feel grounded by the knowledge of exactly where they belong in the universe. By learning about the universe, the solar system, the earth and everything on it, all learning becomes relevant. The child gains acceptance of ideas and traditions that are different from his own by becoming aware of lifestyles and geographic locations of other cultures.
