Maria Montessori (1870-1952) developed her educational method from a profound appreciation for the power and mystery of the child.
The child, given primary respect, makes spontaneous choices within a prepared environment, and is “free to create himself.”
Students in all parts of the world are greatly benefiting from this understanding of discipline, which teaches freedom and responsibility.
Almost every early-childhood teacher in the world uses some of her techniques and ideas, and the Montessori movement continues to grow.
