María Montessori





She was born in 1870, Chiaravalle, Italy, studied center engineering, then biology, anthropology,education  and philosophy among other careers.

About 1900 she realized that children had potential that could be developed and they were worthy of a better life.In that moment she decided to work with children for the rest of his life.
 

She is famous for creating “The method Montessori” that consists of basic principles:

First principle: the absorbent mind of the children, they have  a particular and wonderful ability . The mind of the child is infinite.

Second principle:There are some sensitive periods whenthe child can acquire a skill easily.

Third principle:The environment can be prepared and tally organized for the child, designed to promote better learning and growth . Spaces are bright and warm, which include language, plants, art, music and books.

Fourth principle: the role of the adult is to guide the child.

I admire her because she devoted her life to the tools giving him to the children who more needed it to be educated.
