The Montessori Method, which is based on the work of Dr. Maria Montessori, can be thought of as an aid to life a means of helping the child achieve his or her fullest potential.
The goal of a Montessori education is to produce a happy, interested and well integrated adult, who understands and can contribute to society.
Dr. Montessori was born in 1870 and became the first women to graduate from the University of Rome with a medical degree in 1896.
While working at the Psychiatric Clinic of the University of Rome, Montessori focused her attention on the area of exceptional children. Through her work with these children, she soon found then to be passing their reading and writing exams that children had to take when leaving grammar school. Because of this experience, she began to look for alternative ways to educate normal children.
