The class can simultaneously have three teachers and up to 20 students.

It helps children with disabilities to correctly form and develop the psychophysical functions of an individual. The Montessori educational method allows correct cognitive functions, sensory capabilities, providing a child with a versatile development and the opportunity to develop at his own pace. Montessori class materials are very easy to use and correspond to the age peculiarities of children, taking into account the degree of the intellectual deficiency.
