I just had a baby and I’m looking for future nannies, one of the applicants says she only uses “Montessori style learning,.” I’ve looked into it but I feel I’m missing something. Can someone please explain it to me like I’m an invalid so I can wrap my head around it.

Montessori learning is more structured for the child. For example, they get a bin of mixed coloured beads and need to sort them based on colour. This is different from non Montessori type environments when that same bin of beads can be used by the child to get creative and make a necklace or invent a new game with them. Usually you just need to experiment between the two, your child’s personality will dictate which program is better for them. Do they like routine, structure, and clearly defined goals or are they creative and exploring types? Personally I think there is room for both styles in most kids upbringing.
