Maria Montessori

This Maria still lives in hearts

Dr Maria Montessori, a Italian physician and educationist, who devised the Montessori school of teaching for kids of ages 3 to 6.

The method is picking up rapidly in India, though the Western countries follow this method unanimously for toddlers of ages 3 to 6.

Dr Maria Montessori was the first woman to get a physician’s licence in Italy. She worked in the psychiatric ward of a hospital and it was here she observed the behavioural and learning difficulties of children.

She began to design special materials to educate such children and gained profound success. It was then she thought of extending this method to normal children too.

She started a Montessori School In 1907 ‘The Casa de Bambini’ and her method of education earned world wide recognition. She travelled throughout the world to promote her system, which believes in giving individual attention to each child.

The method inculcates self discipline, and kids learn to keep things in order first.

They have various material and aids to teach the basics of all subjects. Since the knowledge is purely practical and not theoretical as in conventional schooling, the child remembers his basics for years to come.

A Montessori school environment is very different from a conventional one and it is like entering a lab with a number of equipments.

Such an ambience kindles curiosity, lays a strong foundation and makes the kids interested in being at school.
