The Montessori Method
Who was Montessori?
Maria Montessori was an Italian physician, educator, and innovator, acclaimed for her educational method that builds on the way children learn naturally.
Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in the provincial town of Chiaravalle, Italy. Her father was a financial manager for a state-run industry. Her mother, raised in a family that prized education, was well schooled and an avid reader—unusual for Italian women of that time. The same thirst for knowledge took root in young Maria, and she immersed herself in many fields of study before creating the educational method that bears her name.
The Montessori Method
The Montessori method of education involves children's natural interests and activities rather than formal teaching methods. As a Montessori inspired setting, we place an emphasis on hands-on learning and developing real-world skills.
We encourage our children to use their senses to explore and manipulate materials in their immediate environment.
The Montessori Way.
At Little Seeds we take inspiration from Dr Montessori and try to inspire our children by adopting some of her philosophy she was so passionate about.
