What is Montessori?

Dr. Maria Montessori established her first school, dubbed Casa de Bambini (Children’s House), in Rome on January 6th, 1907. First created to educate and provide care for the children of impoverished working parents, Dr. Montessori’s philosophy ultimately centers on fostering the independence and respect of each individual child. Today, schools following the Montessori method apply her pedagogy in areas such as practical life, language, zoology, math, and sensorimotor, among others. Classrooms will have many opportunities for the child to practice care of self, care of others, and care of their environment. The specifics in each area vary by each classroom, but the ideals remain the same. All Montessori classrooms will be a mixed age group. Here at Los Niños, we have Infants (6 weeks through 18 months), Toddlers (18 months through 3 years) and Primary (3 years through 6 years old).
