Montessori is a method of teaching children based on the research and experiences of Italian physician and educator Maria Montessori. The Montessori approach is based on the concept of creating an educational system that follows the tendencies and talents of children rather than imposing adult rules and concepts. Maria Montessori observed that children are extraordinarily curious and physical, and she sought to reward these attributes and characteristics rather than condemn them. The Montessori Method creates an environment that respects individual differences, emphasizes social interaction and educates the whole child.
