2.1. The foundation for the child’s development is concentration. While we cannot make the child concentrate, we can create a ‘favourable environment’ that is conducive to concentration (Montessori, 2012).
2.2. According to Elkind (2009, p12), ‘’ Although we tend to think of work and play as in opposition to one another, they are most effective when they are brought together ‘’.
2.3. According to the Montessori Centre International (MCI), ‘’Fundamental to the approach is the belief that a child’s early years from birth to six are the period when they have the greatest capacity to learn’’.
2.4. Macleod- Brudenell & Kay (2008) suggests that being able to play freely and spontaneously both on his or her own and with others contribute greatly to the child’s learning and development.
2.5. Piaget’s theory explains that the development of object performance and complex schema might be facilitated and assisted through the adult’s empathetic interactions with the young child. (Macleod- Brudenell & Kay, 2008).
