Montessori Education
Maria Montessori developed her approach based on important principles that make a
Montessori school. The principles that will be discussed throughout this paper will help you to understand the principles that are practiced and developed for each classroom. Model early childhood program is an exemplary approach to early childhood education that serves as a guide,

Because of her success with these children, she was asked to start a school for children in a housing project in Rome, which opened on January 6, 1907, and which she called "Casa dei
Bambini" or Children's House. Children's House was a child care center in an apartment building in the poor neighborhood of Rome. She was focused on teaching the students ways to develop their own skills at a pace they set, which was a principle Montessori called "spontaneous selfdevelopment".
A wide variety of special equipment of increasing complexity is used to help direct the interests of the child and hasten development.

It has been reported that the Montessori method of teaching has enabled children to learn to read and write much more quickly and with greater facility than has otherwise been possible.

The success of this school sparked the opening of many more, and a worldwide interest in Montessori's methods of education. The principle I would like to start the paper out would be the prepared environment. By having a prepared environment this allow the
