Fostering Learning

Podcasts

While Montessori and Froebel share a number of common traits, in particular, their emphasis on the individual needs of each and every child, they radically differ on a wide range of issues. In this podcast, the fourth in our ongoing series, we sit down with Hugh Weber, a Montessori parent, connector, catalyst and community builder; as well as Charlotte Wood, a primary guide at Baan Dek, and a thought leader in this space.

We discuss how Montessori enacted a transformation in education, and, more specifically, how her system of learning was designed to encapsulate what is traditionally conceived as the kindergarten year. The importance of Montessori Kindergarten, as the completion of a program that was carefully designed to meet the individual, developmental needs of the children, at this biologically formative period, is discussed within the broader context of fostering learning, as a whole.
