Montessori is the philosophy and
method of education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori over
fifty years. Dr. Montessori was the first woman in Italy to
earn a degree in medicine, and was a pioneer in progressive
education.
She recognised the value of early
education and through careful research and observation, developed
a structured system of education that nurtures a child's natural
curiosity, abilities and positive attitude to learning, allowing
children to learn at their own pace.
Specially designed activities assist
the young child in developing skills in language, maths, geography,
science and music.
The Montessori program aims to
develop the 'whole child' – assisting their social,
emotional and physical development.
