Abstract/Notes: This article explores Montessori’s concept of the Prepared Environment, which includes adult leadership, as an important contribution to the field of Children’s Spirituality. Montessori elevated the spiritual development of children to a central place in social life. She advocated preparation of the teacher as a community leader who works through the environment to guide a pedagogically-oriented process that underpins spiritual development. This model of leadership offers the child a reciprocal relationship with the Prepared Environment, which operates as the child’s true teacher. The preparation of the adult, as an element of the Prepared Environment, has a spiritual tone and is a key aspect of Montessori science and philosophy, designed to support the holistic development of the child as both a hope and a promise for human beings.

Abstract/Notes: Thesis description: The subject of our thesis is Montessori pedagogy in day care. In our bachelor’s thesis we deal with early childhood education in general and present the main ideas of the Montessori method. We also compare day care centers that go by the principales of the montessori pedagogy with conventional day care centers. Theoretical summary: The Montessori method is one form of alternative pedagogy. The main question of our bachelor’s thesis is: What special features does the Montessori method bring to the activities in Montessori day care centers? In addition we will examine how the idea of the child being in the center of the day care shows in the activities of the day care center. Methodological summary: The research material has been collected with the theme interwiev method and the material has been analysied using the content analysis method. We have interwieved the employees of some Montessori day care centers. Main results: The most significant special features of the Montessori method in early childhood education are the emphasizing of individuality, the child being in the center and the partnership of the parents and the day care center. Also the role of the kndergarten teacher and the environment are different. Play has a different kind of role and there are children of different ages in the group. Conclusions: The greatest strenghts of the Montessori method are individuality, the holistic wiew of development and the child-centred approach of The Montessori method will support the beneficial development of the child’s self-esteem. Key words: Early childhood education, the Montessori method, day care / Opinnäytetyön kuvaus: Opinnäytetyömme aihe on montessoripedagogiikka varhaiskasvatuksessa. Käsittelemme työssämme varhaiskasvatusta yleisesti ja esittelemme montessoripedagogiikan pääpiirteissään. Vertailemme myös montessoripedagogiikkaa toteuttavia päiväkoteja tavallisiin päiväkoteihin. Teoreettinen ja käsitteellinen esittely: Montessoripedagogiikka on yksi vaihtoehtoisten pedagogioiden malleista. Päätutkimuskysymyksemme on mitä erityistä montessoripedagogiikka tuo montessoripäiväkotien toimintaan. Lisäksi selvitämme sitä, miten lapsilähtöisyys toteutuu. Metodologinen esittely: Tutkimusaineisto on kerätty teemahaastattelumenetelmää käyttäen ja aineisto on analysoitu sisällönanalyysia hyödyntäen. Olemme haastatelleet montessoripäiväkotien työntekijöitä. Keskeiset tutkimustulokset: Montessoripedagogiikan huomattavimmat erityispiirteet varhaiskasvatuksessa ovat yksilöllisyyden, lapsilähtöisyyden ja kasvatuskumppanuuden korostuminen, ohjaajan erilainen rooli, lapsiryhmän hajautettu ikäjakauma, ympäristön erilaisuus ja leikin osuus päivähoidossa. Johtopäätökset: Montessoripedagogiikan suurimmat vahvuudet ovat lapsilähtöisyys, yksilöllisyys ja kokonaisvaltaisuus. Montessoripedagogiikka tukee osaltaan myönteistä itsetunnon kehitystä. Asiasanat: Varhaiskasvatus, montessoripedagogiikka, päivähoito

Abstract/Notes: The young child who arrives at the conscious phase of the Absorbent Mind is primed to be an active participant in exploring the physical world. He has already created the foundations for functional human existence, and he can move and thus explore his world. He can already speak. We see his skills grow, which help him reach ever greater independence.
