“It is not true,” said Dr. Montessori, “that I invented what is called the Montessori Method. I have studied the child, I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method.”
Montessori is truly child-centered learning. The Montessori method was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori based on scientific observations of children who are, as the American Montessori Society puts it, “naturally eager for knowledge and capable of initiating learning in a supportive, thoughtfully prepared learning environment. It is an approach that values the human spirit and the development of the whole child—physical, social, emotional, cognitive.”
