The Importance of Montessori-Aligned Sports & Movement

In today’s world, where children are increasingly leading sedentary lifestyles due to modern technology, the integration of movement and sports in Montessori schools is more important than ever. While movement is naturally embedded in Montessori education—particularly in the Children’s House, where two movement-focused activities are present—there is a growing need for a structured and comprehensive approach to physical activity.

However, many Montessori schools rely on coaches and physical education (PE) teachers who may not be trained in Montessori pedagogy. This often leads to a disconnect between the Montessori philosophy and the way sports are implemented, potentially misaligning with the school’s educational vision.

For parents who choose Montessori education and recognize the value of sports and movement, it is essential that their child’s school works with experts who understand both Montessori principles and sports education.
