Montessori is a philosophy of education developed by Dr. Maria Montessori that directs the child to love to learn, foster independence using the methodology she invented to direct children to become citizens of the world. It recognizes that children learn best in an environment of mutual respect and calm which allows each child to learn at their own pace. The specially designed materials are used to enhance the various stages of development

Montessori is an educational approach that supports the individuals in their journey to achieve their personal potential by creating environments and communities that offer freedom of choice within limits and that develop respect, responsibility and resourcefulness.
