The Montessori approach, developed over a hundred years ago by Dr Maria Montessori, fosters children’s love of learning and encourages independence by providing an environment of activities and materials which children use at their own pace. This builds self-confidence, inner discipline, a sense of self-worth and instils positive social behaviour. The approach forms the basis for lifelong learning. (Montessori Australia Website)
