The Montessori Work Cycle

The Montessori Work Cycle is the time when children are free to work with any materials on their classroom shelves that they have been introduced to. The introduction occurs through a presentation to either the individual child or a small group of children, who are ready to explore new materials and have shown interest in learning more about them.

The child is encouraged to take the work off the shelf, and independently work with the materials on a table or at a work mat. When complete, the child will return the materials neatly back on the same shelf.

The image gallery below will walk you through this work cycle as follows:

  • Child working with Curriculum / Cultural 3-part nomenclature cards building vocabulary through picture and words association
