Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was born in Italy and became known throughout the world as a great educational innovator. In 1896 she became the first woman in Italy to finish medical school with a degree in neuropathology. Trained in science and medicine she used her skillful powers of observation to analyze young children s most natural and effective learning strategies that she found rooted in a series of sensitive periods. To enhance these early learning periods she then designed an ingenious series of hands-on educational materials reproductions of which are still used in Montessori classrooms on every continent.
More important than her materials however is Maria Montessoris philosophy that allows both teachers and parents to have a very comfortable and fruitful relationship with youngsters. Basic to all her efforts for reform is her conviction that civilization can be saved by children who are respectful responsible and resourceful. For over 100 years in Montessori schools all over the world including Community Montessori School children are respected as individuals nourished by caring adults and educated for peace.
