The montessori system of education is both a philosophy of child growth and a rationale for guiding this growth.
It is based on the work of Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952), world famous educator and psychologist.
It is built on the child's need for freedom within limits.
The classroom environment is prepared in such a way that the child moves naturally through a progression of materials which satisfy her/his emotional, physical, intellectual and social needs.
