The Montessori Children's House of Kyiv.

Children of different ages share the common classes. According to Maria Montessori, this helps to encourage collaboration learning by example and leadership. The younger observe, learn and get inspired from the older classmates while older act as positive peer models for their junior classmates, assuming positions of responsibility that further strengthen their own capabilities and self-esteem.

The classroom in the Montessori Childrens House of Kyiv is a deliberately prepared educational environment that comprise of authentic Montessori Materials. Maria Montessori believed that the hand was the direct link to the mind. Therefore, the materials are all designed to be manipulative. When learning sounds using the method, a child traces the letter shape with the fingers used for writing as he or she make the sound out loud. To learn what a pyramid is, she holds it in both of her hands, and feels it with her eyes closed. To learn what a square is, she feels the edges of it, instead of merely looking at a two-dimensional shape printed on a piece of paper. When counting, she counts actual objects to feel quantities, instead of trying to touch dots on a page.

The materials are all designed to be "self-correcting." That means it is usually obvious to the child, upon completing the activity, whether it was done correctly. For example, counting activities contain only the exact number of counters required to correctly perform them. If pieces are left over or appear to be missing, the child knows he needs to go back and recount the whole exercise to find his mistake. This allows the child to learn without constant adult intervention.
