Environmental education, a growing field, is recognized as a crucial element in combating climate change for current and future generations. Although environmental education seeks to offer children a holistic worldview of nature while striving to inspire young thinkers, it is missing from most classrooms, specifically Montessori schools. The Montessori method is one that recognizes each individual child's interconnectedness with the natural world while offering guidance as they discover their role. This is a brief overview of literature and case studies which speak to the various benefits of incorporating nature-based learning within classrooms. Specific benefits in regards to child development, sustainable actions and children with exceptionalities are discussed. The aim of this review is to support the notion that environmental education should be incorporated in Montessori schools, specifically Primary age Environments.
