The role of the Directress in Montessori education is very clear, it is much more than that of a traditional teacher ; it is more in the way of a guide or facilitator. The Directress observes each child's interests and strengths as well as evaluates their developmental level, and provides support to foster independent learning. The Directress further creates a prepared environment and the child interacts with this environment to learn. The environment is carefully curated to support the needs of the child. it is dynamic and changes. the Directress helps children to develop critical thinking, self-discipline and especially a life-long love of learning.
