Description: The hands on the world represents growth, transformation and a positive imprint onto the world itself. This is a representation and reminder that we are here to help our children offer a positive imprint onto the world on their life journey while learning in a free environment. Our mission at Inclusive Montessori is to implement the philosophy, practice, and curriculum of Dr. Maria Montessori and her method of education. We provide an instructional individualized montessori program, that will enable all students to reach their highest level of academic success.We respect the right and need of each individual child, to stimulate the passion to embrace all of life with respect and love. We develop the skills necessary for active and intelligent exploration and a life long love of learning. Maria Montessori was the first woman to practice medicine in Italy. A scholar of biology, psychiatry, anthropology, and medicine, she graduated from the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Rome in 1896. As a physician, Dr. Montessori was in touch with young children and became profoundly interested in their development. Through careful and exhaustive scrutiny, she realized that children construct their own personalities as they interact with their environment. She also observed the manner in which they learned as they spontaneously chose and worked with the auto didactic materials she provided. She studied children of all races and cultures in many countries around the world, soon seeing the universality of the laws of human development. She continued her observations throughout her life, widening and deepening her understanding until her death in 1952. Also a devoted humanitarian, she was three-times nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for her advocacy efforts toward a more peaceful humanity. Maria Montessori was a scientist, and as a good scientist, she was earth-bound and highly spiritual in her pursuit of truth. Through her studies of educational methods, she declared two principles as the foundation of Montessori pedagogy: the universal characteristics of the human child, and the child as a unique, unrepeatable, respectable, and admirable individual to be unconditionally accepted as one of life's most marvelous expressions.
