Why Montessori?

As the holidays draw near, consider age-appropriate gifts that also support your child's growth! Find a Montessori-inspired recommendation, aiding in anything from developing skills--fine motor coordination or reading comprehension--to instilling an appreciation of the outdoors to preparing for housework and individual responsibility! These engaging gifts will further equip your child with tools to fuel the physical, imaginary, and individual spirit. 

It goes without saying that Maria Montessori was an advocate for peace. Her vision for the child and humanity not only led her to speak at numerous peace conferences throughout pre- and post-World War II Europe, but also to formally publish her ideas in books such as To Educate the Human Potential (1947) and Education and Peace (1949). Moreover, however, the mere fact that the well-documented genius of the ‘Montessori Method’, with its holistic focus on self-actualization by the child, has been successfully implemented around the world, having both stood the test of time for more than a century and been confirmed by modern scientific research into human brain development, perhaps uniquely positions it as the ideal choice for a system of education to foster the global awareness necessary for real world peace.
