The Montessori Method

1912. Montessori, the first Italian woman M.D., was one of the great pioneers in studying the intellectual development of the young child.

The doctor carried her insight; that children learned through all their senses, to its logical conclusion. On their way to cleanliness, order, poise, and conversation, children use the Montessori materials-inherently logical and aesthetically pleasing-to develop a sense for order and logical thought, and a firm foundation for success in learning. more
