2. Early child Development

something which the teacher does, but
that it is a natural process which
develops spontaneously in the human
being”.
-Maria Montessori

4. The Montessori Method of education,
developed by Dr. Maria Montessori, is a child-
centered educational approach based on
scientific observations of children from birth to
adulthood. To fully understand the Montessori
Method, also known as individual learning or
progressive learning, it is necessary to trace
the history and development of the philosophy,
and review the various principles and uses of
the teaching methodology in pre-K to K-12 and
special education programs.

9. Invited to the USA by Alexander
Graham Bell, Thomas Edison, and
others, Dr. Montessori spoke at
Carnegie Hall in 1915. She was
invited to set up a classroom at the
Panama-Pacific Exposition in San
Francisco, where spectators watched
twenty-one children, all new to this
Montessori method, behind a glass
wall for four months. The only two
gold medals awarded for education
went to this class, and the education
of young children was altered forever.

25. The teacher, child, and environment
create a learning triangle. The classroom is
prepared by the teacher to encourage
independence, freedom within limits, and a
sense of order. The child, through
individual choice, makes use of what the
environment offers to develop himself,
interacting with the teacher when support
and/or guidance is needed.
