Montessori Philosophy
About Montessori
Maria Montessori is the founder of Montessori Education. She was ahead of her time, determined, unfaltering against society’s conventional way of teaching. During her medical practice, she got opportunities to observe and analyze children’s behavior from which she deduced that a child should be given a prepared and independent environment to explore his surroundings through his five senses.
Maria Montessori established her first school in 1907 named, ‘’ Casa dei Bambini’’ (house of children) in San Lorenzo, where she worked on children from a poor society. She discovered that the child prefer order, responsibility in regard to their environment, working in quiet and learning socially acceptable personal care.
Based on her discoveries, the Montessori Method started to spread in different parts of the world. This approach provides the world with the new method of educating children that foster their growth naturally throughout their developmental period. Now, it has become the most appropriate approach of education that promises self-directed learning of the child.
As Maria elaborated:
‘’The goal of early childhood education should be to activate the child’s own natural desire to learn’’
