The Montessori Method

A groundbreaking classic of educational philosophy, this book offers still-revolutionary theories that focus on the individuality of the child and nurturing their joy of learning. It helps foster abstract thinking and fulfills a child's highest potential, and is immensely valuable to parents from all walks of life. Published in 1909 in Italian and translated into English in 1912, this book is more urgent today than ever before as traditional methods of early-childhood schooling seem to be failing us.
