THE MONTESSORI METHOD OF TEACHING
Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. - Socrates
I never teach my pupils; I only attempt to provide the conditions in which they can learn. - Einstein
The first Montessori environment was opened on the 6 January 1907 in San Lorenzo, Italy, by Dr. Maria Montessori.
Through Dr. Montessori's observations and work with these children she discovered their astonishing, almost effortless ability to learn.
