Montessori and ECCE (Early Childhood Care and Education) are not the same, though both support early learning. Montessori is a specific educational approach emphasizing independence and hands-on learning, while ECCE covers a broader framework for holistic child development. At Inspiring Minds Montessori, part of Inspiring Minds Child Care, we blend Montessori principles with ECCE best practices to nurture young learners, creating a balanced environment focused on inspiring minds and fostering growth.
