The Montessori Philosophy and Method

Dr. Maria Montessori believed that through the education of our children the world could be changed. By observing their development from birth through adolescence, she understood that by providing environments rich with materials appropriate to the stages of development and teachers committed to work in service of the developing child, young people could grow, realize their full potential, and become the adults whose lives, permeated by peace and respect, would create a world better than the one they came into.
