Dr. Maria Montessori stated that education is an aid to the development of life from birth and that the experiences of the early years determine the future adult. This is reflected in one of his best known phrases: the child is the father of man.
Her main contribution to pedagogy was to discover the secret of childhood, that is the potential of the child and his ability to learn without effort, to build and adapt to the historical moment and the environment that surrounds him.
This approach also emphasizes that the only way to achieve social transformation is to educate for peace, which begins with understanding the needs of the child and meeting them with respect; furthermore, it favours a harmonious coexistence between the child and the adult.
The Montessori method has been practiced successfully for over a century, in different cultural and social contexts; neuroscience and other related disciplines continue to confirm their scientific basis day after day.
The preparation of adequate spaces in the family and school environments allow children between the ages of zero and three to establish a solid foundation for their optimal motor, cognitive, emotional and social development.
Understanding the needs of the child and meeting them with respect; furthermore, it favours a harmonious coexistence between the child and the adult.
