History

Established in 2000.

Montessori was founded in 1907 by Dr. Maria Montessori, the first woman in Italy to become a physician. She based her educational methods on scientific observation of children’s learning processes. Dr. Montessori designed a «prepared environment» in which children could freely choose from a number of developmentally appropriate activities. Now, nearly a century after Maria Montessori’s first «casa del bambini» (children’s house) in Rome, Montessori education is found all over the world, spanning ages from birth to adolescence.

The most important discovery that Dr. Montessori has contributed to the field of child development and education is the fostering of the best in each child. She discovered that children learn extraordinarily well in an environment where they are allowed to choose their work and to concentrate for as long as needed on mastering that task.
