Maria Montessori, People Who Have Helped the world

Last remaining copies!

When Maria Montessori became the first woman doctor in Italy, she was setting a precedent. She was to use that same intelligence and determination to transform the classroom into a place where children were thought of as “people” wanting to learn and with great abilities to do so – at their own pace. So it was with the first “Children’s House” in 1907 that Dr. Montessori introduced the now familiar look of our classrooms – the child-sized furniture, aprons, paints, sinks and beautiful wooden learning materials.

The changes Maria Montessori made marked the start of an important world-wide progression in education and in the way that adults think of and treat young children. The benefits of the Montessori Method are felt in every school and by every child today.

This title tells the story of Maria Montessori for a younger audience.
