About Montessori

“Free the child’s potential and you will transform him into the world” -Dr. Maria Montessori. Dr. Maria Montessori was an Italian physician, educator and innovator acclaimed for her educational method that builds on the way children naturally learn.Dr. Maria Montessori’s Pedagogy:Montessori method of education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori is a child centred educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood. Dr. Maria Montessori’s methodology has been time tested, with over 100 years of success in diverse cultures throughout the world. Dr. Maria Montessori’s whole approach to education was in the spirit of constant experimentation based on the observation of the child. One of Montessori’s primary goals was to promote the development of social skills, emotional growth, and cognitive preparation so every child could fulfill their utmost potential. She believed that the potential of the child is not just mental, but is revealed only when the complete “Montessori Method” is understood and followed. The child’s choice, practical work, care of others and the environment, and above all the high levels of concentration reached when work is respected and not interrupted, reveal a human being that is superior not only academically, but emotionally and spiritually, a child who cares deeply about other people and the world, and who works to discover a unique and individual way to contribute.This is the essence of real “Montessori” work today.
