What is Montessori?
Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was one of the most important early childcare educators of the 20th century. She developed an educational method to encourage children to grow as a whole, covering all aspects of development – intellectual, social, physical, emotional and spiritual. The Montessori Method is based on her studies in psychology and philosophy, where she expanded a unique instructional method designed to accommodate the developmental instincts of children.
