Maria Montessori (1870-1952) by Rene Wadlow
31 August is the birth anniversary of Maria Montessori, an Italian childhood educator and world citizen. Her approaches to early childhood education are used both in Montessori schools and also more widely in other schools and home schooling.
Maria Montessori, inspired by the role of her mother was a life-long feminist breaking down barriers which tried to exclude women. She insisted to be allowed to enter medical school in Rome at a time when the school had only men as students, thus becoming one of the first Italian female M.D. in Italy in 1896. She became known for her work with illiterate children at her Casa dei Bambini, a school set up in 1907 in a building in the slums of Rome. There she developed her own principles of learning. Montessori had been strongly influenced by the tactile educational methods used for deaf-mutes and retarded children that had been created by two French physicials Jean Itard and his student Edward Seguin. She took special interest in the retarded and slow-learning children who were locked up in wards without toys or learning materials of any kind.

The waves are calling me like a siren”
