A Systems View of a Montessori Early Childhood Education

“The elegant beauty of this integrated learning journey reminds me of a quote about quantum physics expressed by Capra and Luisi (2014) ‘…it is the whole that determines the behavior of the parts’ (p. 73). It seems that the program as a whole, the entire system, is the structure that allows the parts to grow, question, and explore. Gang (1982) calls for the active participation of students ‘To be an agent of her own self creation’ (p. 11).”
