The Montessori Method
Report
The essential purpose of Montessori education is to offer each child an environment in which he can develop the skills and habits he needs for a lifetime of learning and happiness. Dr. Montessori (1870-1952), the first woman physician in Italy and a pioneer in early education, recognized the critical importance of childhood learning.

FAQ’s
Report
I observed in Montessori classrooms and it doesn't seem like there is an opportunity for pretend play. Is this true? Starting in her first "Children's House" in 1907, Dr. Montessori found that children did not choose pretend play when given the opportunity to do actual, meaningful work instead.
Her first classrooms contained dollhouses, for instance, where children could pretend to serve tea to dolls-and real, child-sized tea sets, where children could prepare real tea and serve it to each other.Invariably, the children would choose to do real work with real utensils, which is why we enable our children to do the same in our classrooms.
