What is Montessori Education?

​

​Montessori education is a child-led approach to learning that nurtures the whole child—body, mind, and spirit—through thoughtful design, hands-on materials, and deep respect for the individual. At its core, it’s about trusting the child’s natural drive to learn and grow when given the right environment and support.

​​

This philosophy was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori (1870–1952), Italy’s first female physician. Through her work in medicine, psychology, and education, she discovered something profound: when children are placed in a carefully prepared space—

with real tools, meaningful choices, and freedom within limits—they flourish.

In 1907, she opened the first Montessori classroom, Casa dei Bambini, 

and her method has been transforming education ever since.

​

In a Montessori setting, the teachers serve as guides, quietly observing, supporting, and connecting children to the environment and materials that match their developmental needs. Dr. Montessori believed that young children possess an absorbent mind—a powerful, sponge-like ability to take in the world around them. When we honor this capacity with purposeful materials and respectful guidance, children thrive.

​

Montessori is about helping children become independent thinkers,

capable doers, and joyful learners for life.
