The specific material
In order to ensure the comfort and safety of each child, it’s important to use the right material to learn and for the daily life of the School. Each place in the room will be identifiable through a visual or tactile marker (for example, photos or tangible objects easily identifiable by touch, different floor coverings) and will have a unique function (for example, where you eat is not a resting place). We will see below how we will manage the child’s environment according to the Montessori’s philosophy.
For all children
It’s definitely respect the adequate size of the furniture to allow the child to do be more independent and safe (chairs and tables, toilet and sinks, bed). Each child will have his own coat hanger and small space to put his bag and his thing needed.
For children with special needs
The idea of inclusion is to offer equal opportunities but it goes with either these kids needs specifics material to be totally safe and able to make their job better. The space of the school needs to be thought to receive kids with a wheelchair: make sure the child can easily move in the school without need to ask someone to move something on his way or to carry him. Ramps can be placed on the wall of the school to help The children with motorskill’s problem or vision deficiency. The use of robots such as the Trexo robot for artificial walking should and could be considered. Also an inclusive playing ground can be created.
