Words of wisdom from Maria Montessori, the Italian educator and physician who 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: “Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us by reason of their innocence and of the greater possibilities of their future.”

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

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 http://www.amightygirl.com/the-parents-we-mean-to-be

For stories for children and teens of other teachers who have changed the world, visit our "Teachers & Librarians" section at http://amgrl.co/1JC9rcC

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.
