Montessori believes that education is an aid to life and starts from the birth. Adults need to provide a specific environment to meet the needs of children at development planes, so as to help them develop at that particular period. The ages between 0-3 are an important period of self-construction for children. And this Assistants Course will help adults understand the development characteristics of children under three years old, so that adults can provide more appropriate help for children to develop themselves.
