Introduction
In the enchanting world of early childhood education, the Montessori method stands out as a beacon of holistic development. Dr. Maria Montessori, an Italian physician and educator, revolutionized early learning with her philosophy that emphasizes independence, hands-on learning, and respect for each child's unique developmental journey.
