Montessori Method
Montessori Method of education, developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-centered educational approach based on scientific observations of children from birth to adulthood.
The Montessori Method is based on the principle that children have a natural interest in manipulating materials and employ all their senses to investigate their surroundings. The Montessori materials are designed to allow the child to interact and to manipulate them while learning a concrete lesson that carries on to more complex concepts. The Montessori teacher is a dynamic link between the prepared environment and the student.
