MONTESSORI HISTORY

Dr. Maria Montessori was born on 31st August, 1870 at Chiaravalle in the province of Ancona, Italy. She was a trained psychologist gynaccologist and Educationist. It is she who created a scientific method of teaching called the “montessori” method which combines philosophy with practical approach.

Dr. Montessori felt that the goal of early childhood, education, should not be to fill the child with facts from a pre-selected course of studies but rather to cultivate the child’s own natural desire to learn by providing him/her with an environment which is full of challenges. Dr. Montessori’s particular cause was to help children to learn to live together in harmony. A positive force for god which would last into adult life.
