“…As a result, there is a strong foundation for Montessori education in India, across Europe, and in the United States. Consequently, teaching multicultural understanding (through peace and moral education) is an important foundation of Montessori’s pedagogy (Coe, 1998; Duckworth, 2006). Building on these concepts, the school directors responded that music could be used to teach children about different cultures and the world around them: A variety of songs, instruments and nationalities are represented [through music].Children learn much about the world around them through music.Music is that universal language that bridges diverse cultures.…”

This exploratory study examined the changing role of music education and the availability of musical experiences for students attending Montessori schools in the Midwestern United States. On a survey instrument designed by the researcher, Montessori school directors ( N = 36) from eight states shared descriptions of the current role of music at their schools, the challenges faced when teaching music, individual perceptions of the impact of music on development, and beliefs about music as a valuable component of the curriculum. Data included responses to Likert-scale items and open-ended questions in an online survey. Analyses revealed that while school directors believed music could be used to engage students in learning or to build upon issues of multicultural understanding, opportunities for musical engagement were limited as a result of stringent budget cuts or time restrictions in the classroom. Implications are discussed in terms of including music in the Montessori classroom in ways that align with Maria Montessori’s pedagogies situated within an international context.

“…The point is that direct transfer of any alternative educational approach from one nation to another is not necessary or probably advisable; instead, educators can look for adaptation possibilities for the receiving culture and consider changing the model to fit the receiving culture. Miller (2011) and Duckworth (2006) both comment on this issue of adaptability, citing Montessori's flexibility internationally as a model. Miller (2011) believes that within the Montessori philosophy there is room for tolerance as different educators, parents, and physicians advocate different applications of supporting a child's development.…”

Montessori, Waldorf, and Reggio Emilia education remain three of the most popular models for alternative early childhood education. Each of these approaches has developed globally, with a rich history of supporting children’s educational freedom. This narrative analysis provides a means for early childhood educators and scholars to understand the aims, philosophical and theoretical frameworks, historical development, benefits, and challenges in these models and their methods of practice. As early childhood education evolves with technology and as re-conceptualizations about early education occur, an understanding of these alternatives to traditional education models is important. While adaptive options of these models may emerge in education systems across national contexts, this review allows educators to consider their applications and cultural appropriateness in specific local and community contexts.
