In 1906 as a young Dr she experimented with different methods, working with very young children. This was the first House of Children opened in Rome, The “Casa Dei Bambini”.
Her work grew from strength to strength until her educational reforms and practices became accepted by the world. Today it is a privilege to be able to send our children to a Montessori House of Children to experience the teaching methods founded, tried and tested by Dr Montessori.
Born in 1870 in Chiaravalle, Italy Maria grew up engulfed in the love of her parents. Renilde Stoppani was considered well educated for her time and was a kind of mentor to Maria’s encouraging her in all her endeavours.
In today’s world, we can call Dr Montessori one who “broke the glass ceiling”.
At the age of 13, Maria enrolled in an “All Boys” school to study technical subjects in the hope of becoming an Engineer.
She met with opposition from all sides including her father Alessandro who was one in thought with everyone else that girls should stay at home becoming a homemaker. Maria graduated at the age of 20 with a certificate in Physics and Mathematics. At this point, she decides to pursue medical studies and become a doctor.
She was met with disapproval by society. This did not deter Maria who forged ahead in the face of opposition studying Natural Sciences at the University of Rome. Earning her “Diploma Di Licenza” in 1893, together with her studies of Italian and Latin she was able to gain admission to study medicine.
