Montessori is a philosophy with the fundamental tenet that a child learns best within
a social environment which supports each individual's unique development.
It offers a broad vision of education as an aid to life. Montessori is designed to help children with
their task of inner construction as they grow from childhood to maturity. It succeeds because it draws
its principles from the natural development of the child. The inherent flexibility allows the method to adapt
to the needs of the individual, regardless of the level of ability, learning style, or social maturity.
