As a parent, I was interested in different educational approaches for my children and I had a hard time to decide which education is better for them. As a mother of two toddlers I was particularly interesting in teaching methods for younger children and one of them that I stumble upon was a Montessori education. It’s existed for almost a 100 years and very famous in this day and after educating myself about it, I immediately fell in love in Montessori education.

She was Italian educator and philosopher, who organized the International Montessori Association…

Montessori is mainly in the private sector, with its own broad educational goals. I have watch children learn many things, that many would say is beyond them. For example, the life cycle of stars in third grade, cursive in first grade and biological classification in second grade. In a non-grading environment, the students explore and learn an amazing amount of curriculum, because they were excited and their classrooms are packed with resources that were accessible to everyone. My goal, in…
reflecting over these three different biographies of Pestalozzi, Froebel, and Montessori I realized how many different people throughout history have brought change to our American Educational System. I would have never known of all these different influential people that have brought change for the better within the educational system.

In addition to academics, Montessori teaches its students to be kind, respectful, loving, helpful, and open to others. Montessori is a place where you make a second family.…
