The Gift of Montessori

The Montessori method, pioneered by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907, is a revolutionary approach to early childhood education based on the belief that children are naturally eager for knowledge and capable of self-directed learning.

At its core, the philosophy fosters independence, curiosity and a lifelong love of learning by placing the child at the centre of the educational process.
