Maria Montessori was a remarkable woman with a profound love and respect for children. She made scientific observations of how children learn.

•  She believed that the first six years of a child’s life are of the utmost importance.

• All children, said Maria Montessori, are intrinsically motivated to learn and they absorb knowledge without effort when provided with the right kind of activities at the right time in their development.

• It is the role of the Montessori teacher to prepare the environment with the materials that will do this, and to help each child develop the kindness, courtesy and self-discipline that will allow them to become full members of society.  They are also there to encourage, answer questions, and to promote a harmonious learning atmosphere.
