Introducing A Famous Person

Maria Montessori was born in 1870 in Italy and became one of the first female doctors in her country. She developed the Montessori Method of education, which focuses on cultivating children's natural interests through hands-on learning materials rather than formal instruction. Montessori opened her first school for low-income children in 1907 in Rome, called the Casa Dei Bambini, where she implemented her child-centered educational approach using materials she had created to engage multiple senses.
