What is Montessori? A visionary, child-focused educational method, developed over 100 years ago. The method is based on logically and sensitively introducing educational and social concepts to very young children. It's major focus is on learning to concentrate and become independent, happy life-long learners. Over the past 100 years, the method has become globally accepted as significant to 'Early Years' best practice. Many major educational ideas identified by Maria Montessori, the founder of the method, have recently been verified by modern independent scientific research. Montessori's particular interest was the role of education in the promotion of peace,

a sentiment never more relevant than today. It is precisely this aspect of her work that led to her being repeatedly nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.
