Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, developed the Montessori Method in the early 20th century.
Her approach emphasizes independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological, physical, and social development. Montessori education is characterized by mixed-age classrooms, student choice of activity, uninterrupted blocks of work time, and specialized educational materials. It’s had a significant impact on education worldwide.
The curriculum fosters holistic child development, aiming to ignite the innate curiosity for learning and cultivate essential life skills. Through the Montessori Method, tailored materials engage children, encouraging active participation and self-correction. These materials empower each child to iterate and enhance their abilities, promoting individualized growth.
Children have the freedom to advance at their own pace, free from external pressure to conform to others’ timelines. They can pursue their individual interests in a nurturing environment that values self-respect and respect for others.
