Abstract

Independence is an essential aspect of early childhood development that needs to be fostered through learning activities that provide children with opportunities to engage in hands-on experiences. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of the Montessori method in developing early childhood independence through Practical Life activities. This study employed a quantitative approach with a one-group pretest-posttest design involving 15 children. Data were collected using an independence observation checklist consisting of 15 items rated on a four-point scale. The intervention was conducted over four sessions through Practical Life activities. The results showed that all children (100%) were categorized as having low levels of independence during the pretest. Following the intervention, 14 children (93.33%) were categorized as having high levels of independence, while one child (6.67%) remained in the low category. The Paired Samples t-Test revealed a significance value of 0.000 (p < 0.05). Therefore, there was a statistically significant difference in children's independence levels before and after the implementation of the Montessori method through Practical Life activities
