The Montessori method is named after Dr. Maria Montessori–the first female Italian physician. In 1907, Dr. Montessori developed a teaching method focused on each child’s individual potential and the uniqueness of his or her learning experience. Dr. Montessori believed that children learn best when provided with age-appropriate opportunities for exploration, observation, and modeling in a caring, nurturing environment.
