Holistic
Development:
The approach supports the development of the whole child, encompassing physical, emotional, social, and cognitive skills.
Freedom within Limits:
Children have the freedom to move, choose their activities, and learn from mistakes, but within a structured environment that fosters respect for themselves and others.
Observation:
Close observation of children is central to understanding their individual needs, interests, and "sensitive periods" of learning.

Intrinsic Motivation:
The method encourages children to learn and engage with tasks for their own satisfaction, rather than for external rewards or approval.
