What is Montessori?
The Montessori Method of education was pioneered by Maria Montessori, a doctor, who opened her first school in 1907. Through her work with children she devised educational materials which were successful in developing children’s intelligence as well as their physical and social abilities. Her philosophy and methods have been recognised, and proven worldwide, for over 80 years.
The Montessori classroom is known as the “prepared environment” and contains educational materials for growth and development of every child. Each classroom has children of mixed abilities.
