About This Item
Orient Longman Ltd, Bombay, India, 1982. Reprint. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Very Good. Dr. Maria Montessori (1870-1952) was an Italian physician, teacher, and innovator, acclaimed for her eponymous educational method that builds on the way children naturally learn. She opened the first Montessori school, the Casa dei Bambini, in Rome in 1907, and today there are more than 22,000 throughout the world. Before anything else, this book is a description of the child, seen with the exactness of a scientist and the empathy of a warm heart. From this understanding grew the way of teaching based on collaborating with the needs and powers of a child and the removing of obstacles to this growth that has come to be known as the Montessori Method.
