The basic premise on which the Montessori Method for preschool is predicated is that human beings are naturally curious, and therefore, children should be educated as per their natural phases of development, and the best of what actually works in terms of education.

The goal of both Montessori and traditional preschools is the the same; to provide learning experiences for the child. The biggest differences lie in the kind of learning experiences each school provides and the methods they use to accomplish this goal. Montessori educators believe these differences are important because they help shape how a child learns, his/her work habits and his/her future attitudes toward himself and the world around them.
