"The child has a different relation to his environment than ours...the child absorbs it.  The things he sees are not just remembered; they form a part of his soul. He incarnates in himself all the world about him that his eyes see and his ears hear."

DR. MARIA MONTESSORI

Curiosity in the Primary Classroom is as evident in the child as the wonder of everything they work with.  Children are free to explore and experiment with purpose using the materials.  It's welcomed for the children to think of something different than that of the adult.  Their inherent curiosity eventually leads to exploration with the materials and what we call ‘take-off.’  It's that spark in their minds that leads to greater creativity!  We want and encourage this to happen.  This only leads to "thinking outside of the box" and develops critical thinking skills.  Montessori children often grow to ask questions and seek the answers. 

At home, you can let your child explore, let her ask questions and allow time and space for this to take place. Fostering curiosity will only allow your child to acquire more knowledge about the world around them.  Isn't this one of our goals for our children?
