The Teacher
The teacher is not the center of focus as in the traditional classroom. She is a guide to the individual children as she moves quietly around the room. Recognizing that learning is a voluntary act on the part of the ready for it and record his progress. His work is correct in a positive way, by showing him what his is doing well and how can improve, instead of emphasizing error.

The Classroom
Designed for independent work, the room is equipped with chairs, tables, shelves - all child-size. Low shelves around the room contain didactic materials which the child may work with. The teaching materials also are designed for the independent use, each piece of apparatus isolates a particular problem and is self-corrective Since movement is intimately connected with learning many activities engage the child's large and small muscles, as well as his senses and his mind Many materials are used on mats on the floor.
