Montessori Method
Dr. Maria Montessori was the first woman to graduate from Medical School in Italy in 1896. She began her vocation as a physician, and later studied education and anthropology. She strongly believed in observing children in order to define the sources of their development, both social and cognitive.
Travelling throughout the world she identified universal principles she believed to underpin every child’s development. Out of this research, the Montessori Method was developed with its unique philosophy, materials, and teacher training that is today practiced worldwide.
There were certain aspects that Dr Montessori saw which were very important for a child’s natural development. These became the bases of the Montessori Curriculum
