After more than fifty years of research, teaching, and observing children, Dr. Maria Montessori believed that each of us is born with great potential. The child’s “natural development” will aim directly and energetically toward successive levels of functional independence. Maria Montessori’s life approach to learning cultivates a positive self-image, through the child’s own natural desire to learn, and builds the foundation for a lifetime of creative learning.
