Maria Montessori was one of the most important early years educators of the 20th century, the innovator of classroom practices and ideas which have had a profound influence on the education of young children the world over.
The Montessori method of education is a child-centred educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. Dr. Montessori’s method has been tested, with over 100 years of success in diverse cultures throughout the world.
This method of learning is a view of the child as one who is naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It is an approach that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child.
