The Montessori Method
Our educational program is founded on the philosophy of Italian physician and educator, Dr. Maria Montessori. Dr. Montessori was the first woman to receive a medical degree from the University of Rome. She devoted her life’s work to the observation of young children and their learning. Her Montessori preschool method was created after she worked with children for over 40 years. The Montessori method is known and practiced throughout the world and is well respected.
