Montessori education offers a broad vision of education as an aid to life. This approach is designed to support children with their task of inner construction. This method succeeds because it draws on the natural development of the child. Each childs inner directives are guided towards wholesome growth.
Montessori classrooms provide a prepared environment where children can go to do purposeful work. In a Montessori classroom children are given the opportunity to develop their powers of concentration (from concentro which means being with your center) and joyful self-discipline. The true discipline of the child comes from within as a freely chosen response to the environment. The Montessori method develops the personality of the child not just the intellect.
Maria Montessori was the first woman doctor in Italy in 1896. Through scientific observation she developed a system of learning based on her conclusions about how children relate with one another learn through the use of specific materials and go through universal phases of development. Using her background in psychology and her belief that society could be bettered through the education of children she developed her approach to education. She also articulated universal laws of development that are inherent to children of all races and cultures. Her timeless method continues to be highly respected internationally.
