The Montessori educator is a professional who facilitates learning and helps the child progress from one stage to the next.
A Montessori educator is trained to observe and support the child’s development, knowing when to assist and when to stand back in order to allow the child ownership of the learning process.
A Montessori educator watches over the environment and removes anything which could interfere with a child’s learning. In educational terms, the educator acts more as a facilitator rather than as an instructor.
