Montessori teaching is very popular today and almost all countries follow this method of pedagogy today. Dr. Maria Montessori initiated the "Montessori Method" on the basis of her observations that education during the formative years is absolutely crucial to a child's development and future success. Pickering and Ajax Montessori schools have a specially "prepared environment" with child-size furniture, manipulative and hand-held objects. All classroom items are richly textured and aesthetically pleasing to children. Traditional instruction is combined with a range of hands-on activities, cooperative learning and personal discovery.
