(1870–1952)

*Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in Chiaravalle, Italy.

*Italian physician Maria Montessori was a pioneer of theories in early childhood education, which are still implemented in Montessori schools all over the globe.
Introduction
- This theory is focused into 6 different principals.
1. Independence – it is believed that a child has to learn how to be independent and by this they will harness living skills.
2. Observation – the best way to understand the child is by observing them. By looking at them we are able to understand the needs of a child even at the age where they are unable to speak.
3. Following the child – with what a parent / educator has observe the child actions, you then follow the child in what they need to do. Example following the child into what they need to do by not being directive but instead allow them to go with the step slowly.

4. Correcting the child – everyone does makes mistakes that even includes a child. Through this is when we have to learn the proper way to teach the child between right and wrong. Shouting, beating, yelling will not help the child to understand the difference but only change due to fear. However, the mistake may occur again as they are unaware between right and wrong.
5. Prepared environment – this is a very important part for educators as they have to make sure the environment is a child friendly place. The space or activities prepared are to be child size for the children to freely move around. The development of the child is therefore dependent on the environment she or he is in, and this environment also includes the parents.

6. Absorbent mind – young ones are very innocent and absorbent as to that, educators or parents are to make the area safe and appropriate . children have the tendency to learn through their experience in the environment that they are placed at. As mentioned by Montessori it is for this reason that one should not try to say “NO” to a child. We do not want them saying “NO” to us rudely. Instead we say “stop” when we want to tell them that they are doing something wrong.

6. Language
-Created sets of metal insets that children use for drawing but that actually help form the fine motor skills for subsequent writing.
-Begin to teach the phonics sounds of the letters then move on to build words and recognization and then book reading
7. Culture studies
-The development a wide range of beautiful materials that allow the children to gain an appreciation of biology, geography, simple science and history.
-Let the children lead their interest and she find that children very easily learned.
8. Arts and creativity
-Allowed to be express themselves freely
-Develop many indirect activities that help children develop the necessary abilities
-Children are allowed to be individuals in a activity
