montessori method

The Montessori Method is a prepared educational environment where children can live and work in freedom and peace. Based on Maria Montessori’s keen observations of children and her astute insights into how children learn, she developed an environment of child-size everything and rich learning materials that answer the needs of the child’s emerging developmental impulses.
