Montessori method
The Montessori method is an approach
to educating children based on the
research and experiences of Italian
physician and educator Maria Montessori
(1870–1952). It arose essentially from
Dr. Montessori's discovery of what she
referred to as "the child's true normal
nature" in 1907, which happened in the
process of her experimental observation
of young children given freedom in an
environment prepared with materials
designed for their self-directed
learning activity. The method itself
aims to duplicate this experimental
observation of children to bring about,
sustain and support their true natural
way of being Source:
