ontessori Education is a child-centred educational approach developed by Dr. Maria Montessori. It emphasizes hands-on, self-paced, collaborative, and joyful learning. In Montessori classrooms, children engage in activities of their own choice within a prepared environment to facilitate their independent learning and exploration. The method encourages children to develop their natural interests and activities rather than using formal teaching methods.

Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician and educator. She was one of the first women in Italy to receive a medical degree. She developed her educational philosophy and methods through her work with children with special needs and later with children in a regular school setting. Her innovative approach was grounded in her scientific observations of children’s learning processes, emphasizing the importance of adapting the learning environment to the child’s needs, fostering independence, and respecting children’s natural psychological, physical, and social development.
