Children are first introduced to the Montessori materials by a trained educator, who will present a Key Lesson, and then invite the child to work with the material independently. When they have finished working with the activity, the children return each material to its allocated place in the prepared environment. The Montessori materials are presented to the child in sequence, from easiest to hardest, and in accordance with their developmental needs and interests. This clear structure provides a logical and ordered progression for learning, which in turn, promotes the gradual layering of knowledge.
