Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator known for her work in the field of early childhood education. She was the first woman in Italy to receive a medical degree and went on to develop the Montessori method of education, which emphasizes self-directed activity, hands-on learning, and collaborative play.
Montessori’s approach to education was based on her observations of children and their natural curiosity and desire to learn. She believed that children learn best in a prepared environment that is designed to meet their developmental needs, with materials that promote sensory exploration and self-discovery.
Montessori opened her first school in Rome in 1907, and her methods quickly gained popularity around the world. She wrote extensively about her approach to education and trained teachers in her methods, establishing the Association Montessori Internationale to promote her work.
Throughout her life, Montessori was a passionate advocate for children’s rights and believed that education was the key to unlocking their potential. She continued to work and write about education until her death in 1952. Today, Montessori schools can be found in countries around the world, and her legacy continues to influence early childhood education.
