What is Montessori?
Montessori is an approach to the education of children. It is a view of how children develop and learn which has been translated into a systematic method of education based upon careful scientific study.
Montessori education was founded in 1907 by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman in Italy to become a physician. Her scientific observations of children's learning process have resulted in her educational approach which is now used in over 7,000 schools worldwide. Guided by her discovery that children teach themselves, Dr. Montessori designed a "prepared environment" in which children could freely choose from a number of developmentally appropriate activities. Now, nearly a century after Maria Montessori's first casa dei bambini ("children's house") in Rome, Montessori education is found all over the world.
