The Montessori Method
Montessori education is an educational approach developed by Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori and characterized by an emphasis on independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development. Although a range of practices exists under the name "Montessori", the Association Montessori Internationale (AMI) and the American Montessori Society (AMS) cite these elements as essential:
• Mixed age classrooms, with classrooms for children ages 2½ or 3 to 6 years old by far the most common
• Student choice of activity from within a prescribed range of options
• Uninterrupted blocks of work time, ideally three hours
• A constructivist or "discovery" model, where students learn concepts from working with materials, rather than by direct instruction
• Specialized educational materials developed by Montessori and her collaborators
• Freedom of movement within the classroom
• A trained Montessori teacher

Steiner Method
Waldorf (Steiner) education is a humanistic approach to pedagogy based on the educational philosophy of the Austrian philosopher Rudolf Steiner, the founder of anthroposophy.
Steiner described child development as taking place in three distinct stages. These stages were reflected in his program of early childhood education, which focused on hands-on activities and creative play; elementary education, focused on developing artistic expression and social capacities; and secondary education, focused on developing critical reasoning and empathic understanding. The educational approach also placed unique importance on the role of imagination in learning, as well as focusing attention on the intersection of different elements of curriculum, eschewing specialization and compartmentalization.
The overall goal of Waldorf education is to develop free, morally responsible, and integrated individuals equipped with a high degree of social competence. Teachers in Waldorf schools emphasize formative (qualitative) over summative (quantitative) assessment. Individual teachers and schools have a great deal of autonomy in determining curriculum content, teaching methodology and governance.The principle: Consider the child as a being who thinks, acts and feels. Great importance is attached to the child’s artistic creativity and his biological rhythms.
