Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator, acclaimed for her educational method that builds on the way children learn naturally.
She opened the first Montessori school—the
Casa dei Bambini, or Children’s House—in Rome on January 6, 1907.
Subsequently, she travelled the world and wrote extensively about her approach
to education, attracting many devotees. There are now thousands of Montessori
schools in countries worldwide.
Montessori
is a method of education that is based on self-directed
activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play. In Montessori classrooms children make creative choices in
their learning, while the classroom and the highly trained teacher offer
age-appropriate activities to guide the process.
