What is Montessori?

 


The Montessori Method of education was pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first female doctor in Italy in the 1900's.

 

This three times nominee for the Noble Peace Prize used scientific observation and evaluation of the children she worked with to devise educational materials which are wonderfully successful in developing the children's intelligence as well as their physical and social abilities. Dr. Montessori believed in educating "the whole child" i.e. the physical, intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual child.

 

Her philosophy and method have been recognised and proven world-wide for over a hundred years. In fact, some of the most innovative and successful people of our time were educated in Montessori environments such as Larry Page & Sergey Brin (founders of Google), Jeff Bezos (founder of Amazon.com), Anne Frank, Gabriel Garcia Marquez ( Nobel Prize winner for Literature), Andrew Lloyd Webber, and Mark Zuckerberg (Co-founder of Facebook). Often times it is the innate desire to question look at things differently and experiment that the Montessori Method instils in the child that is referred to as the reasons why they have become so successful.
