School description
Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952), was one of the most influential pioneers in early childhood education this century. Her ideas have become known and recognized throughout the world and have significantly influenced educational methods.Dr. Montessori was the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome Medical School. She became interested in the field of education when asked to work with children from impoverished backgounds. She used the classroom for observing children and for developing her ideas on the best ways of helping them achieve their full potential.
Dr. Montessori left a legacy to the world of a method of education that combines a philosophy with a practical approach based on the central ideas of freedom for the child within a carefully planned and structured environment. She advocated that children are intrinsically motivated to learn and that they absorb knowledge without effort when provided with the right kind of activities at the right time of development.
