The Importance of A Schedule in A Montessori Learning Space

As adults, most of us have a routine that we follow such as brushing our teeth to start the day right. This enables us to maximize our potential. For children too, it is the same. At iSpark Gopalapuram, the following are the scientifically backed reasons why a solid schedule is in place.

At iSpark Gopalapuram, we follow a solid schedule as, according to research,

having a routine in place is very effective for the well-being of children.

Here's why a Montessori learning space focuses on routines:

Schedules Create A Sense of Security in Children

When there is a schedule in place, a sense of familiarity and comfort is created in children. When comfort is established, children feel safer to express themselves better without holding back. This sense of security extends their adult life when they find themselves in changing environments. They are equipped with effective social skills, improved self-esteem, and improved emotional maturity to tackle difficult situations.

Schedules Build Discipline

When there are schedules in place, there is discipline as a by-product. Following a schedule also teaches the child self-control and emotional stability in tempting situations when there is a snack or a difficult situation when the parent is not around.

Schedules Improve Concentration

The schedule of a Montessori learning space plays a vital role in developing concentration and focus on a task for a certain period. A schedule is essential for learning to take place as it is a dynamic process that requires immense effort.

Children Need Order to Thrive

Adapting to change is very difficult even as grown-up adults. However, we have cultivated tools in our arsenal from our experiences that help us to keep moving forward in life. Children do not have these tools yet and need a schedule to keep their anxiety at bay.

To summarise, we must ensure that our children develop a holistic approach to life. This is possible through an emphasis on routine and maintaining a healthy schedule.
