In 1907 Maria Montessori opened her first school, Casa die Bambini, in a slum area of Rome. Maria Montessori(b.1870 d.1952) was born in Italy and trained as a doctor. She was the first woman doctor of her day. She went on to lecture at university, then studied philosophy and psychology, became an educationalist and devoted her life to working on behalf of the child.
Dr. Montessori's main objective was to help children everywhere to reach their maximum learning potential, while becoming well balanced individuals able to cope with the pressures of modern day living. Montessori education provides a range of experiences which will stimulate a child's love of learning and discovery.
