Exploring the Alignment of Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Montessori Human Tendencies
Discover how Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Montessori's human tendencies align to boost children's learning and growth. Both frameworks emphasize understanding the driving forces behind children's development.
Once children's basic needs are met—physiological and safety for Maslow, and exploration, work, orientation, and order for Montessori—they can focus on learning. Montessori tendencies like imagination, abstraction, precision, and repetition support this growth, leading children towards self-actualization with Maslow and self-preservation with Montessori.
At GEAR, our mission is to nurture children's innate tendencies and set them up for lifelong success. We implement Montessori activities to help children excel and reinforce their learning with Neurofeedback.
