Child-Centered and Early Years Pedagogy Models

Named educational methods and schools of thought that start from the child, including the Montessori method, Waldorf education, the Reggio Emilia approach, Froebelian education, the Charlotte Mason method, the Pestalozzian method, play-based learning and the forest school. A model belongs here when the cited article defines it as a child-centered, early years or holistic approach to educating children. It excludes language teaching methods, reading and mathematics methods and alternative school models, which sit in their own groups.
