The Montessori Philosophy focuses on the development of the whole child, preparing him/her for all of life's experiences. This philosophy was developed by Maria Montessori (1870 - 1952). It is based on her observations that children have a tremendous ability to learn from their environment without conscious effort, especially from birth to age six. Montessori education recognizes the importance of all developmental areas, including a child's social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs. It focuses on each child's uniqueness and their inner clock of learning. A Montessori teacher is trained to recognize these stages and introduce materials and activities that are designed to stimulate growth in these areas.
