Maria Montessori revolutionized early childhood education with her innovative approach that emphasizes independence, hands-on learning, and respect for a child's natural development. Her method, developed through her extensive work with children, has influenced educational practices worldwide and continues to be celebrated for its effectiveness in fostering a lifelong love of learning.
Dr. Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in Chiaravalle, Italy. She was one of the first women in Italy to earn a medical degree, graduating from the University of Rome in 1896. Her background in medicine, psychology, and anthropology greatly influenced her educational methods.
Dr. Montessori was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize three times for her incredible contributions to education and her fight for peace during World War II.
Dr. Montessori began her educational work with children with intellectual disabilities. Observing their learning processes, she developed her method based on the principles of independence, freedom within limits, and respect for a child’s natural psychological development.
