Happy Birthday to Dr. Maria Montessori

"It is not true that I invented what is called the Montessori Method. I have studied the child, I have taken what the child has given me and expressed it, and that is what is called the Montessori Method." - Dr. Maria Montessori

Maria Montessori was born on August 31, 1870, in Chiaravalle, Italy. She would go on to become one of the first Italian women ever to be granted a medical degree.

Through in-depth research, observation and analysis, she would later develop the Montessori method of education, which emphasized a child-centered approach to learning.
She believed all children are born with inherent gifts and abilities that guide healthy development and sought to provide learning environments that enable children to grow holistically and in ways consistent with their natural development.

Montessori was a firm advocate of education for peace, believing in the power of education to bring about social reform and positive change.

Today, we celebrate and remember her legacy and impact on this world.

Do you know that Taylor Swift was a Montessori student?

Taylor went to Alvernia Montessori in West Reading, Wyomissing, PA, with 55 other children. Her headmistress was Ann Marie Coll.

She attended preschool during the 1994-1995 school year, then kindergarten during the 1995-1996 school year.

Taylor had made a pledge to donate a total of $250,000 to the schools that she attended as a youth. Alvernia was the lucky recipient of $5000 from the famed singer.

Can you spot Taylor in the picture?
