The Montessori Method of education was developed by Dr. Maria Montessori in 1907 when she introduced her first school, the Casa dei Bambini in Rome, Italy.  A physician, educator, and innovator, Maria Montessori developed a method that fostered the way children naturally learn.  If provided a thoughtfully prepared learning environment, a child will be eager to learn and is able to initiate the learning process.
