Montessori Method

In this country, a Montessori education has long been valued by affluent families. However, the Montessori method was developed over a century ago by Dr. Maria Montessori to educate children living in the slums of Italy, many of whom were considered un-teachable. The simplicity and orderliness of the Montessori Method fosters a sense of order, inner security, self-discipline, and intellectual curiosity. These attributes lead to an ability to make good decisions, a sense of responsibility to others and the environment, and a life-long love of learning that make the method particularly appropriate for the children who attend MHM.
