Dr. Maria Montessori was a physician from Italy who invented the Montessori Method. She propagated that children, if given the proper tools, could learn better and retain more. Maria Montessori travelled all the way to India and was very touched by the intimacy of the Mother and child relationship in the Indian Society. Dr Maria Montessori’s theories have withstood the test of time. Even today, research continues to confirm many concepts and ideas initiated by this visionary leader.
