"Whoever touches the life of the child touches the most sensitive point of a whole, which has roots in the most distant past and climbs towards the infinite future."
— Maria Montessori
Montessori Method
The Montessori Method is based on these three main premises:
  • Children are to be respected as different from adults and as individuals who differ from one another
  • Each child possesses a unique sensitivity and intellectual ability to absorb and learn from our environment
  • The most important years of a child's growth are the first six years of life when unconscious learning is brought to the conscious level.
