Bloom Montessori

The Montessori Education system is based upon the theories and work of an Italian physician named Maria Montessori (1870-1952). The guiding principles of the Montessori Method are: respect for the child’s natural development, focus on developing independence, and giving the child freedom over his or her learning with methodical guidance. Maria Montessori believed in the ‘full development’ of the child; by nurturing his or her physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual needs, and that the teacher could release all the latent human potentialities in the child.
