The Philosophy & Method
History of Montessori
Maria Montessori, a 20th century educational pioneer and the first female physician in Italy, developed what has become known as the Montessori method. From her interest in human development and through observations and findings of how children learn, she was inspired to return to the University of Rome to study psychology and philosophy. She developed a sensory-based curriculum with hands on materials.
