Press Review
People often say that the Montessori method, developed by Maria Montessori, is built on free, spontaneous play «children just do whatever they want.» While play certainly has its place, the Montessori method actually centers on intentional «work», tailored to the child’s stage of development.
The Montessori method : an education for creating inovators. Montessori education helps students develop a love for learning and it teaches them to be self-directed learners who can harness their creative potetential.
