 Since
when has the Montessori method of early learning been established and what
principal advantages does it offer for young children's learning?
Dr.
Maria Montessori, began her career in Rome, Italy in 1907 when she began
a working group of 50 young children. Over the years, she experimented
with various educational aids, and perfected the integration of environment
and materials to the system today known as the Montessori method.
The principal advantages
of the Montessori method is that each child responds to stimuli at his
or her pace and through the quarters of play, the child learns and exhibits
the inner controls, expansion of intelligence, and the awareness of the
mysteries that surround exploration.
If learning materials manufactured by Educational Essentials goes through
exhaustive Quality Assurance systems and is managed by a team of professionals,
how can the Company keep its cost competitive?
Quality
products are often associated with high costs of purchase. However,
scheduled controls at manufacturing stage, yields reduced rejections and
waste, greater productivity, and subsequently lower costs of production
per unit manufactured. This translates to a high quality component,
which is user specific, and importantly at a cost which is lower.
What advantage does Educational Essentials offer, which other suppliers
are unable to match?
Continuous
improvements and up-gradation of plant and machineries for production and
assembly lines, combined with sales and marketing offices in 7 cities of
4 continents, reflect a sizable saving to the valued customers of Educational
Essentials, by way of lower inventory costs and free deliveries.
Unlike most other
Montessori equipment suppliers, especially in North America, who act as
importing agents or marketing distributors for another manufacturer, we
at Educational Essentials are both the manufacturers and marketers of all
our products. There are no "middle-agents" involved who keep their
commissions, and as such we are able to offer low and competitive pricing,
on a "one-to-one" relationship basis with all our customers.
How does Role-play equipments further the young child's learning process
and growth?
Play
is a young child's work, and indicates the early learning skills, which
the child has recently come to acknowledge. Support and encouragement,
coupled with promotional learning aids in these stages of growth are vitally
important if the child is to experience and manage stimuli positively,
in order that he or she develop self esteem and a strong and vigorous self
image of themselves.
