KIM Montessori School

To mark 150 years since the birth of Maria Montessori, we have collaborated with BrightVibes who have made this wonderful film about Maria Montessori and her in...spirational life. We would like to thank Carolina Montessori for giving her time to talk about her great grandmother. #Montessori150

Words of wisdom from Maria Montessori for Teacher Appreciation Week: Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innoce...nce and of the greater possibilities of their future. The Italian educator and physician created the Montessori Method, an educational approach that encourages children's learning through discovery that is now used in an estimated 20,000 schools worldwide. To learn more about her work and educational philosophy, check out the insightful biography "Maria Montessori: Her Life and Work" at http://amzn.to/1u0EQA6 To introduce children to this inspiring role model, we recommend the new board book "My First Maria Montessori" for ages 2 to 4 (https://www.amightygirl.com/maria-my-first-maria-montessori) and the picture book version for ages 5 to 8 (https://www.amightygirl.com/maria-montessori) For an excellent book that explores how parents can support children's holistic development, we highly recommend "The Parents We Mean To Be: How Well-Intentioned Adults Undermine Children's Moral and Emotional Development" at https://www.amightygirl.com/the-parents-we-mean-to-be For children's books that celebrate teachers and the value they bring to kids' lives, check out our blog post, Honoring Educators: 20 Books About Mighty Girls & Their Teachers, at https://www.amightygirl.com/blog?p=12108 Many of the toys featured A Mighty Girl's toy section were selected with a similar philosophy to Maria Montessori's in mind -- we've sought out high-quality toys that would help children to exercise their imagination while mastering basic skills and growing confident in their abilities to be self-directed learners. If you're new to A Mighty Girl, mouse over the "Toys' button on our main menu bar to open our toy directory which is divided into six main categories: Toys/Games, Imaginative Play, Arts/Crafts, Outdoor Play, For Baby, and Kids' Gear.
