International Women's Day: Celebrating Dr. Maria Montessori
Today is International Women’s Day. Who better to shine a spotlight on than Dr. Maria Montessori?
Dr. Montessori paved the way for children’s learning at WMS and Montessori schools throughout the world. By observing children as they interacted with hands-on materials designed to teach a variety of concepts, she refined what is now known as the Montessori Method of education. Her knowledge of child development and how humans learn allowed her to apply the scientific method to the field of education, and we are better for it.
At WMS, we remain dedicated to Montessori principles including hands-on learning, facilitating long-term memory through sensory experiences, prioritizing children’s social-emotional development and using education as a pathway to peace in our world. Thank you Dr. Montessori, a true pioneer, for creating a path of lifelong learning.
