Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori was born in Italy on august 31th, 1870. She studied engineering, biology, anthropology, philosophy and she was the first woman that obtained the medicine degree in Italy. When the economic crisis affected your country, she started to take an interest in conditions of society, especially conditions of women and children.

I really admire Maria Montessori because she was interesting in children and their development. She thought that children have many abilities to learn and she believed they will change the society and the world. In Italy, she founded a children home and she taught children to behave well and they did their works alone. Your methodology consisted in deliver to children dignity, liberty and independence.

Maria Montessori wrote many books about your pedagogy methodology, some of them: “Peace and education”, “The secret of childhood” and “The Montessori methodology”.
