Montessori Philosophy Explained: Understanding the Words of Maria Montessori

Published on Oct 7, 2013

The Summit Country Day School

During an evening educational program for our parents, Summit teachers presented this practical analysis of Montessori Philosophy. Each segment of the program began with a quote from Dr. Maria Montessori, and then the teacher explained the quote. Here at The Summit, we find the deep understanding that Dr. Montessori had about early childhood education is as true today as it was more than 100 years ago when Dr. Montessori made these statements, or as it was 50 years ago when The Summit pioneered this Montessori program. We find that these best practices initiated by Dr. Montessori are aligned with what current brain research tells us about cognitive development in young children.
