Montessori is a philosophy with the fundamental tenet that a child learns best within a social environment which supports each individuals unique development. One basic idea of the Montessori philosophy is that carried unseen within each child is the person the child will become. To develop to the fullest physical and intellectual potential and for the love of learning the child must have freedom- achieved through order and self-discipline.
